Some differences on Ubuntu Server 20.04
My Ubuntu Server 20.04 machine, which runs purely in text mode, boots considerably faster, as you can see here:
donnie@ubuntu20-04:~$ systemd-analyze Startup finished in 8.588s (kernel) + 44.944s (userspace) = 53.532s graphical.target reached after 38.913s in userspace donnie@ubuntu20-04:~$
I must confess that I haven't worked that much with Ubuntu Server 20.04 since it's been out, and I still encounter some new things about it that surprise me. Before I set up the VMs for this chapter, I had never before noticed that Ubuntu Server 20.04 comes with graphical.target as the default, even though no graphical interface is installed. The explanation for that is that the accounts-daemon.service file gets started by the graphical target, not by the multi-user target, as we can see here:
donnie@ubuntu20-04:/etc/systemd/system/graphical.target.wants$ ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 43 Feb 1 17:27 accounts-daemon.service...
