I beg to differ. My users and especially me enjoys my custom grub2/plymouth boot screens **a lot**. Using openSUSE everywhere (desktops, notebooks, servers, set top boxes (eg. vdr)), plymouth is making a whole lot of difference during boot. I even learned to make nvidia driver driven systems behave in this regard (nvidia-drm.modeset=1). BTW, on servers, I don't install plymouth at all, remove quiet and any splash args from kernel cmdline. Why do you bother with plymouth, if you hate it? But you shouldn't infer from yourself to others!
