I dual booted windows but then deleted the windows partition, I think thats when my issues started
edit: I had a sd card that was corrupted or something, removed it and now my pc boots up fine
try removing the sd card from the BIOS boot order

So this is about boot times. You should first check with systemd-analyze blame.

I did install TLP last night, that might be why theres LPM issues
but before I installed TLP, I was still having boot time issues

You installed... Traffic Light Protocol?
sturdy steeple
it was supposed to help with power management
I dont get it
it says 7 min boot time but the things listed dont add up to 7 min
ig it only lists the load times for apps and not the OS itself?

No, it means that the S-ATA drive took 7:38. Which is approximately 7min longer than it has any right to.

oh ok

Something with your drive is running into some internal timeout, or bugged.
Please do inxi -Dxxx and report the result.

Looks normal. So this is probably some BIOS/UEFI setting.

I think it was the sd card, let me do more testing
maybe when I installed windows, it wrote some goofy ass code on the sd card that is breaking mint, idk

SD cards are fairly slow, especially latency-wise. If the system is trying something on it, that may drag out a lot.

Sure. If it is resolved, feel free to mark the thread as such.

I want to do some research to see if I can keep my sd card plugged in, but if not, I'll mark it as resolved

first, see if the system boots flawlessly without it inserted
and if u need to, backup any data u need from the sd card, and reformat it to exFAT or something better

I may be enough to remove it from the boot order, or it may require telling Grub to ignore it, not sure.

I'll try removing the sd card from the boot
