No need for the stopwatch!

Spits it right out for you.
And for fun systemd-analyze blame
I’m not deep into it, just a user since the IT guy at work gave me an Ubuntu disk and said to keep the workstation but erase the drive.
Then my wife’s win10 choked on an update...OK do a RESET...
NOW MS wants the PASSWORD for the linked email account!!!
Yes, a local account is a workaround; BUT ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP!!!
Thank you Linus Torvalds!!!
Yes, scanner drivers might drive you inSANE, a small price.
I've added some things to the system since my experiments, and I'm up to 25 secs now.
Startup finished in 6.946s (firmware) + 247ms (loader) + 8.688s (kernel) + 9.667s (userspace) = 25.549s
graphical.target reached after 8.573s in userspace
Still not too bad.

Scanner drivers? I have a Brother scanner/laser printer/copier. I reloaded my desktop earlier this week, and just from the base Kubuntu load, was able to print without configuring anything, and scan using xsane, without any configuration at all. I was pleased.
