SUSE sets KillMode=none for plymouth-start.service which means any process will not be terminated by systemd when (if) unit stops. So yes, it is sort of expected.
OK. There is also a journal entry telling me, that KillMode=none is deprecated, so this should be changed sometimes in the future, I guess. I have had problems with plymouth remaining running on my laptop causing hand on shutdown. I have removed plymouth completely (beginning in either Leap 42.3 or 15.0) and I have never had another issue.
If you run into plymouth problems, that is always an option. Between a few seconds of fancy boot or having no problems on shutdown, I chose the latter.
I prefer to get a graphical passphrase prompt for my encrypted partitions instead of a text prompt, that vanishes as soon as the next text messages show up.
The prompt is still there and the keyboard remains active, but it is true that the text of the prompt flows up with the texts messages that continue appearing; it can even vanish and one doesn't know why the boot process has stopped. One has to tentatively press a key on the keyboard, and if an asterisk appears on the screen, one knows it is waiting for the passphrase. AND, if you have two or more partitions with the same passphrase, plymouth applies it automatically to them, saving typing. Supposedly. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
