My fedora32 takes about 1 minute 39 secs to bootup.
My system specs are : i3 6th gen, 4GB RAM, integrated graphics.
Is it normal for this system?? Coz i think it is slow

Can you post the output of systemd-analyze blame so we can see what is slowing down your machine.
it should look like this:
~> systemd-analyze blame
6.171s NetworkManager-wait-online.service
…
when something is taking longer then getting online via WiFi there is an issue.

This is the output
Odd. The firewalld.service, and the upower.service are listed twice.

@nrj The system takes 1 min and 39 secs to boot, nothing unusual if using a mechanical hard drive, my system takes 1 min 30 secs to boot.
Can you also post systemd-analyze time.
There are a number of recent threads on this issue. Have you looked at any of them, and if not, why not?
One thing I can tell you is that you can disable and mask ModemManager.service and recover over 22 seconds.

This time it took even more time to boot
Here is the output of systemd-analyze time
[nrj@localhost ~]$ systemd-analyze time
Startup finished in 4.227s (firmware) + 3.406s (loader) + 1.744s (kernel) + 6.102s (initrd) + 4min 57.004s (userspace) = 5min 12.486s
graphical.target reached after 2min 4.705s in userspace
@nrj Duplicates are the same starting service, i don’t think that the firewall service is starting twice with the exact same time.
To disable and mask the ModemManager.service type
systemctl stop ModemManager.service
systemctl disable ModemManager.service
systemctl mask ModemManager.service
@kiko964
I disabled and masked ModemManager.service
after this I booted the system again and typed systemd-analyze time
this was the output
Startup finished in 4.234s (firmware) + 3.169s (loader) + 1.709s (kernel) + 5.280s (initrd) + 1min 37.801s (userspace) = 1min 52.195s

@nrj, don’t feel bad, everybody starts out as a beginner. Also, thee’s no one silver bullet to fix this. However, there have been a number of threads about this lately, with lots of ways of fixing this type of thing. Maybe, by reading through the threads and trying things that worked for others you can find the answer you need.
@sideburns
How can I be so stupid.
I read your previous suggestion to read other threads wrong.
My bad
I thought you were saying about faults shown in my output.
sorry.
I should search for similar threads now.
@sideburns
So I looked at few similar threads on this issue and found many different solutions.
There was a solution to replace systemd which i don’t think is safe for me to do.
There was also a solution to disable lvm2-monitor.service if I am not using lvm. But I dont know if I am using lvm or not so I searched a bit to how to find out this and got a solution to run < lvdisplay > on terminal to find out lvm availability which is not showing any output…?
So I looked at other threads and in one thread someone(I don’t remember the name sorry) asked to check the output of <journalctl --disk-usage>.
My output was :
Archived and active journals take up 592.1M in the file system.
which I think is causing systemd-journal-flush.service to take 27.180 seconds to complete.
There was one more thread to disable plymouth service which can reduce boot time by 50% but that was way more confusing…
Ok, here is a no-risk thing you can do:
journalctl --vacuum-time=15days
Or, however many days you wish to keep. That should clear out a lot of old journal logs and reduce your systemd-journal-flush.service time.
It will not cure everything, just that one aspect of your problems.

Vacuuming done, freed 3.5G of archived journals from /var/log/journal/d5cb82200d2348a584733b8c64c83a92.
This is awsome, thanks man! Why such house-keeping is not enabled by default?

Finding the excess journals is exactly the type of thing we have to do, so Good Job! Now, about the lvm2 question, I get the same result as you do from lvdisplay, and I know that I’m not using lvm2, but let’s not take any chances. Please run df in a terminal and post the results, because that will tell me for sure if you’re using lvm2.
This is the output :
[nrj@localhost ~]$ df

I am confused. It didn’t clear anything. This is the output I got
[nrj@localhost ~]$ journalctl --vacuum-time=15days
