Recently switched to solus 4 from macos high sierra on my macbook air, it takes around 30 seconds to the login screen.

is there a way i can make this faster ?

Nope... you should identify your hardware and search the web for solutions.
Fist thing is to check if you can find your hardware with lspci or lsusb.

addy3494 Was the 30 seconds spent waiting on the Mac boot screen (before Solus bootloader)? You can get rid of the delay with the "bless" command -- as shown here:

Create a USB boot stick with a OSX/MACOS install DVD and boot off it ....

The interesting thing is with a Ubuntu (18.10) install this manual step is not necessary. Maybe someone with more partition/EFI know how can explain?
