Created attachment 369688 SVG file created by systemd-bootchart
On the Dell XPS 13 9370 with Debian Sid/unstable with only one local user, it looks like GDM 3.28 waits for the NetworkManger before starting the session worker(?) to render the user list. See the attached SVG generated by systemd-bootchart, showing that NetworkManager takes 1.6 seconds, and the gdm-session-worker starts at 4.1 s. Then another 300 ms pass by before gdm-wayland-session starts.
It’d be great, if the user list could be display much earlier to improve the user experience on fast systems.
