Slow Ubuntu startup time due to apt-daily.service
The apt-daily.service makes users feel very slow when running at startup. There is a workaround to delay its execution after system boot up: Do the following: sudo systemctl edit apt-daily.timer And paste the config to the config file: # apt-daily timer configuration override [Timer] OnBootSec=15min OnUnitActiveSec=1d AccuracySec=1h RandomizedDelaySec=30min References: https://askubuntu.com/questions/800479/ubuntu-16-04-slow-boot-apt-daily-service https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/shorten-boot-time-apt-daily-service/12297
