and as for text mode (Sorry Frederic, it's out of context in this reply...): the ones that want it CAN have it - you are free to disable plymouth on your machine! But I honestly do not think that a screen full of text is very appealing to Joe Average.
try "zypper rm libply4; reboot" and if you really see a screen full of text after GRUB is done with the default "quiet" boot option, something is probably very wrong on your machine.
5 Seconds of mostly black screen (the grub output is in the left upper corner, then the desktop fires up -- that's on a 7 year old Thinkpad X200s with SSD, so a modern machine will probably boot even faster.
openSUSE has the 'name' of being a polished distro - from boot to desktop: let's keep it that way and IMPROVE on that fact, not revert to the stone ages.
Well, but I'd rather have a working, fast booting distro than a "polished", slow bootin one :-)
