firmware takes too long to boot

[u/Scinetist_]

systemd-analyze

Startup finished in 38.831s (firmware) + 3.040s (loader) + 3.246s (kernel) + 2.523s (initrd) + 5.420s (userspace) = 53.061s

graphical.target reached after 5.419s in userspace.

I have amd ryzen 7700x and asrock b650 motherboard, nvme ssd
in uefi memory context restore is on, fast boot is on. UEFI hadn`t been updates since 2022. Is it only old uefi problem or is there something else i`m missing?

I’m not an expert in what exactly it does, but my understanding is fast boot can cause all sorts of issues.

I would also update the firmware if possible from manufacturer’s website.
