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.
Some users appreciate the beauty of a verbose kernel booting, and consider the graphical ugly.
It's 'Traces' or 'Straces' that the machines screen is allowed to display during the kernel loading process correct? I am so glad that system administrators are concerned about the 'boot screen' this shows that the Operating System is being used by people who rely on it. I would to share something that an advanced user advised me prior. My thoughts > Would it be 'ok' to consider tightening up initramfs?

The second causes automatic initrd regeneration to be applied to one specific kernel, instead of all installed kernels, preventing inclusion of some possibly failing component to initrds that may have been usable when last generated. - Hopes
