Also remember that systemd isn’t generally doing this in series, waiting for each unit before starting the next. It’s firing off a bunch of units and then continuing what it does. If it were measuring the actual time that a unit takes without including the fact that it’s waiting for resources that other units are using, it’s highly unlikely that bare, which is basically empty, would take longer than massive snaps like Firefox and the GNOME content snaps.
Theoretically with a huge number of snaps and slow enough storage media this could have a noticeable effect, but in practice that case is highly unlikely.

What’s the total without the second grep?

Ubuntu is the Microsoft of Linux.
I did not know about this so I found a source talking more about it, dropping it for anyone curious
Why not? That was 10 years ago and they’re trying to be profitable in a space that is extremely difficult to make profit.
