Apparently the reason my computer has been taking 2 minutes to boot was a faulty network mount

I'm pretty sure the main system startup bottleneck is me typing the disk encryption passphrase.

    Combine that with the 20-30 seconds my system takes to do bios memory training on the DDR5 ram and we’re practically back to the “go make some coffee while the system boots up” days 🤦

    Glad I haven't built a modern chipset PC yet, didn't realize it was this bad.

    As another DDR5 user, it’s not always this bad - there’s a bios setting that makes it remember the previous configuration and skips this step, but sometimes it still needs to do it, and then it can take a minute or two

    I wish to replace it with a yubikey, but I don't even know if it's supported.

    It is, I have it set up on my laptop. It's a bit finicky in how it works and it's not easy to setup, but it is possible.

    You can't even use a fucking fingerprint scanner while being in the system, that package is borked for months and nobody seem to care to solve it.

    I think using Yubikey at boot time is quite out of reach
