From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Apparently the reason my computer has been taking 2 minutes to boot was a faulty network mount
this is interesting! if i had a two minute boot time, I'd look for ways to figure out what's going on.
i remember init messages used to be printed to the console, but nowadays all i get is Manjaro branding. anyone know how to get my console messages back from systemd?
If you hit a key when the Manjaro logo is up (or maybe just ESC) it will go away and you'll get your messages back. Hit it again and you'll get the logo back. The splash screen is due to a program called Plymouth if you want to remove it permanently
