MX 19.1

[tenmm57]

You should post the output of

inxi - F

For both machines in this thread so a comparison of hardware can be made. Also it'll help establish if 1.1 to 1.2 mins boot up is reasonable for your home machine.

Are we talking bootup to login screen, or are you including the time to log in to the desktop?

That is time to desktop. I've never used inxi before and need to do some reading before I can give you the information, sorry.

[jeffreyC]

How slow is slow? Just to make sure we're on the same page.

OK, I'll admit I'm spoiled. My work laptop will boot into Linux Mint in about 15 seconds and about the same booting into Windows. It takes my MX linux laptop about 1 minute 10 seconds give or take a few seconds. That's really not a long time, it just seems like forever.

Your work laptop probably has an SSD.

That is about the boot speed difference I have between an HDD and an SSD.

[Bartman]

I run MX-19.1 on this old relic and it's fast and I don't care about boot times.

not sure what difference it makes but was under the impression that the ahs version you have installed was specifically created for newer hardware rather than machines of your vintage

That's funny you mentioned that, I have the CPU temp displayed on the panel on my Linux Mint machine. I wanted to do the same on MX Linux but couldn't find it listed and just assume that the laptop didn't have that feature. Then the CPU temp shows up on inxi.
