I would suspect some GPU/driver issues. Is that Wayland or X?

Unload all modules as given here https://love2d.org/wiki/Config_Files
Only try running os.exit()
Repeat the timing until you find which module causes this.

Is that a standard DEB installed from Ubuntu/Mint repos?

There are two similar reports:

viewtopic.php?t=83312
viewtopic.php?t=83045

Does the No Game screen also take forever to show up?

Usually a long startup time is related to something plugged into your computer - either a gamepad (or something your OS joystick drivers recognize as one), or an audio device. Some Linux platform APIs in particular have a hard time dealing with some devices.
