Please bear in mind that using this linux ubuntu trick may cause some problems(i have not faced any as of now)

How to install ?

Go to your menu and in their select the terminal
In the terminal window copy this code and paste it their(to paste you need to press ctrl+shift+v) and hit enter

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-boot/ppa

Now copy the codes given below and again hit enter

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Sometimes the ubuntu keyserver is down so please do not panic and try after sometime)

Now you’ll be asked to confirm new updates installation-click ok in it and you are good to go .

Remember it will take around three-four boots before your boot time shows improvement-mine got to 29 seconds from 56 seconds after 9 boot ups.
