How can Trisquel's boot time be so fast?
I've had Debian installed on my Laptop before and after entering my LUKS password, it took an estimated 10-20 seconds or so to reach lightdm. With Trisquel, it's a matter of one or two seconds! That's absolutely nuts and I don't understand why that would be the case. Were any special steps taken to make the boot faster?
I didn't change from an HDD to an SSD or anything. Just installed Trisquel on exactly the same hardware that Debian used to be on (both on an SSD).

Your Debian system might have been starting more services while booting,
or one particular service was holding everything up. It's hard to say
since it sounds like you've since erased thew Debian system.

For future reference though, after booting you can run
$ systemd-analyze blame
To see which services started and how long each took.
That's handy, thanks!
