Slow boot up on desktop but not laptop

[LinuxBlue]

Hello.

I've used Linux for years but never really on an experience level. So please bear with me.

Although I don't think it's the distro that is to blame, I will address that I have 6.2 on both the desktop and laptop. I have used previous version of KDE Neon, Linuxmint, etc, and the results are basically the same.
When selecting "Neon Linux" at the bootloader, the laptop can take a matter of 5 seconds or so. The desktop last clocked in at 2 minutes, and 45 seconds.

I'd appreciate any help on this. I have looked this issue up but so far, no real detail on how to fix it, at least coming from someone who doesn't know the complete Linux language.
Thanks

Moving to the KDE neon topic, since this is not Kubuntu related

The difference mainly will be in the hardware related, but one can look at what may be holding things up:

See:

I have done the systemd in the terminal. I just don't really know what I am looking. But this is what my desktop says:

Not sure if you prefer this in code format or not. Been so long since I was last on a linux forum.

[claydoh]

Code format is perfect but you can remove any text format like color and font, since these don't work in the block, but it is fine.
It can help to see the output of just systemd-analyze to see if part of it is in the initial startup --BIOS

And critical-chain shows how much time things add overall

You can see the startup services that are taking long times. Some of these may be held up by other things, and do note that things are also loaded in parallel.

All of the multi-second times are mostly too long, but man-db.service is the weird one.
but it may be from systemd-journal-flush.service

The part that makes sense is what is taking a long time. But I have no idea how to resolve it, and what should be removed, changed, etc...

That link doesn't work.

HERE if the editor decides to mangle the url again

You basically need to investigate the first two or three items, as these are not only slow, but probably are holding back the other items as well.
