How to maximize boot time on Linux desktop with browser?

Question

linux

There is an old computer. I want it to have only a browser (there are TV things that I can watch only in this way, they are not in iptv).
Alas, the boot time of ubuntu 18/LXDE is long (the disk is not ssd), although I removed everything I could.

How can it be shortened? I heard about building a custom linux kernel, but since I need a browser, it will probably pull a lot of modules anyway, and this will reduce the load time a little?
Or maybe a distribution that is faster than ubunta is loaded?

Answer 1

It seems to me that booting Linux is an unformalized process. And the download speed depends on the number of services that the owner wants to receive. In addition, there are formal procedures (getting ip from wifi, and scanning ext4 fs) that are not fundamentally reduced or their reduction can lead to undesirable effects.
Gentoo is a whole ideology. But it seems to me that it is a dead end and sets itself other goals. Not customer oriented.
Personally, I don't care about my Ubuntu boot speed. I still think slowly and work slowly. +/- 10 seconds doesn't solve anything.

Answer 2

1. buy ssd 1300r, for a thin flash drive 200r
2. thinstation + pxe - system boot 0.5 sec;)
3. If gentoo is directly stuck (it definitely won’t wake up faster if we talk about the OS on the computer)

Answer 3

Put Slax on a flash drive or some puppy linux.
I myself use Peppermint OS on an old laptop with 2 GB of RAM and a core 2 duo processor and I am very happy after switching from xubuntu, the speed of the system has increased along with beauty tiny core to a very old PC, MX Linux,
