Hi there,
After the recent mess with plymouth, I wonder if it is still needed in Tumbleweed.
Plymouth is just the graphical frontend for the boot screen. It's possible to build a system without plymouth, but that would make a bad impression to users. On TW, plymouth really needs an update to a more recent version. The one that got sent out a few days ago wasn't even very recent, worked on many systems and passed openQA. The latest release 24.0004.60 was already broken when I tried locally. Part of the problem is that plymouth upstream has zero release management. A release is just a git tag; no changelog, little testing. Hence, pushing out updates is fragile. Best regards Thomas
Regards, Frank
