I don't get why anyone thinks Plymouth's

notice to
taboo it. If I did, it was too long ago to remember. Anywhere else,
e.g. Mageia,
where Plymouth was not optional, plymouth.enable=0 went on those
kernel
cmdlines. At boot time, I don't need rainbow fluff and spindly or no
text
instead of nice bold, legible white on black racing so fast it can't
all be read.
It is exactly this -- the pursuit of fluff over function -- that drove
me and I suspect others away from KDE and to TDE. Somewhere it got
into people's minds that we'll all scream in horror and run away if we
ever see anything in text mode. Sad.
And I'll nominate that "sad" statement as statement of the month.
