I've been using Ubuntu for a while, for some reason, though, from some point on, it started to boot very slowly, about 2 minutes. Systemd-analyze output is:
Startup finished in 7.911s (firmware) + 5.078s (loader) + 6.034s (kernel) + 1min 28.681s (userspace) = 1min 47.704s
graphical.target reached after 1min 2.054s in userspace

Even so, the slow boot isn't the worst problem. The worst problem is that, after booting, it takes about five minutes to actually be usable. It's laggy, it freezes, it takes ages to open a program, and when it opens, let's say Firefox, it lags, it says 'Firefox is frozen, do you want to wait or force close?' if open two tabs or so. Then the updater, which takes minutes to open, appears, and after a while it starts to function normally and pretty fast. Any ideas? Could it be the updater running? How can I disable it and open it when I want? Thanks.

I'm thinking it might be the snaps? For comparison, I've just tried copying over 3.3 GB in Ubuntu... it went at about 2 MBps and took about 10 minutes. The same thing in Linux Mint, and it took 1 minute, at 30 MBps...
So I'm honestly pretty confused, I think I won't touch it or I'll reinstall it in any case.
