Hey, all… After upgrading to Fedora 42, it felt as though boot was taking a tad longer than normal and after running systemd-analyze blame, I seemed to confirm it was booting slightly slower; that is, under 41 most of the early items listed sat at around the 4 seccond mark and that now tops 9 seconds.
The problem is I don’t really understand what’s happening at that point in the boot process and was hoping someone could lead me to some comprehension. I’m lost until the plymouth-quit-wait.service line, which has an almost same boot time as on 41, so here’s the output before that:

Again, on 41 none of those “dev” or “sys” inputs took longer than 4-5 seconds, so it appears that boot time has doubled.
Thanks for the help!
