   Why does 23.10 boot extremely fast?

   Hello everyone,   
      
   after installing I was wondering how this can be that an OS boots within   
   some seconds?   
      
   From other distros I am used that boot needs around 20-40 seconds, but   
   Ubuntu 23.10, after passing the (legacy) BIOS, is prompting its graphics   
   surface after around 4-5 seconds.   
   This looks to me that they created some kind of image which is unpacked   
   and started when booting. It's just, that I do not remember that such   
   options were shown during installation.   
      
   Besides this, any change to files in the /etc/profile.d directory do not   
   take effect directly after modifying. Maybe, instead, remaking the image   
   afterwards is just triggered to make the changes permanent.   
      
   It seems that these two things are somehow related.   
      
   Does anyone know exactly what's behind that warpspeed boot?   
      
   Thanks!   
      
   best regards,
