To see what is happening during the 20 to 30 seconds use:

sudo -H gedit /etc/default/grub

Find the line that starts with:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash

and change it to:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noplymouth

Leave the rest of the line as is.

Now save the file and exit gedit

Run:

sudo update-grub

Now when you reboot you will see the messages scroll by as the kernel boots up. If it gets stuck on one message for more than a second note it and add it to your question.

For a detailed time break down of your boot use:

systemd-analyze blame

The longest running boot commands are listed first. Use Q to exit the command.
