Bug description
I have a massive delay in booting after upgrading to Xia. And I'm not alone, there's a big problem with this new bug all over the official forum: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewforum.php?f=46
For me, the culprit seems to be the Broadcom sta driver (proprietary), for others is nvidia's drivers, for others something else. Something changed in Xia that it created a race condition to delay the boot up sequence. For me it was 3 minutes (while it used to take 40 seconds), and for others went up to 7 minutes of wait time!
Please look at this bug, because it's affecting a lot of people. More debug info on the various forum threads about it.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the boot delay on Mint 22.1 with Cinnamon 5.6.4 and Intel graphics, then compare the normal 40-second boot with the reported multi-minute delay. Investigate the reported Broadcom STA and NVIDIA driver cases and review the linked forum threads for debug information. Done means identifying the changed boot sequence or race condition and restoring fast booting.
