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.
I don't consider it ugly, but I rather see se startup lines verbosity than a graphical frontend or a splash screen.
Then again, the people on this list are most likely not the average-joe's of laptop users.
Maybe just making that choice easier and simpler when installing a new OS or doing major updates.
Just to be mention .. there is blog and blog-plymouth to replace plymouth which then give a text based boot screen on the monitor as well as on any attached other (serial) console. Werner -- "Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool." -- Edward Burr
