🎉 **Success!**  
Your boot time improved from **39 seconds → 9 seconds** — that’s a **~77% speed increase**. 🚀

Great work applying the fix correctly!

### ⏱ Boot Profile Now

|Phase|Before|After|Improvement|
|---|---|---|---|
|Userspace|~36s|~5.5s|🔥 -30.5s|
|Total|~39.4s|~9.0s|👍 -30.4s|

The system is now performing like a modern openSUSE should.

### 📌 Next: Confirm SSH Starts Early

Optional but recommended:

```bash
systemctl status sshd.service
```

It should start **right after network.target**, not waiting for full online connection.

If SSH still waits too long for DNS, you can also apply:

```bash
sudo sed -i 's/#UseDNS yes/UseDNS no/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo systemctl restart sshd
```

---

### 🧽 Optional Cleanup

To remove the leftover serial devices delay (3 seconds earlier):

```bash
sudo systemctl mask serial-getty@ttyS0.service
sudo systemctl mask serial-getty@ttyS1.service
sudo systemctl mask serial-getty@ttyS2.service
sudo systemctl mask serial-getty@ttyS3.service
```

If you **don’t** use serial consoles, this is safe and saves another ~3s.

### 🚀 Want even faster boot?

I can help optimize:

- ZRAM for faster paging
    
- Disable unnecessary services (Snapper timers, Avahi if not needed)
    
- Enable fast boot in GRUB (skip detecting other OS)
    
- Parallelize or lazy-load more services
    

Just share:

```bash
systemctl --failed
systemd-analyze blame | head -n 10
```

and I’ll provide a tailored further optimization plan.

If you'd like, I can also help optimize:

🟢 Startup applications  
🟢 Linux network stack speed  
🟢 SSD mount tuning (discard, noatime)  
🟢 bootloader timeout & fast initrd
