Dafaq? I've never heard of anyone having the same issue you're having. I'll try to help if possible. Lemme check on a few things and I'll get back to you.

@lucifargundam@qoto.org i already fixed it but like GOD this is awful

basically whenever x11 or stuff started it would use the
hostname command, or an equivalent API presumably to resolve the system hostname (i mean, why, but nice I guess)
and because i didn't have ::1 under hosts for my hostname, it instead tries to ping the dns server- which then takes ages because it has to go searching for a domain that doesn't exist
