plymouth is just a time consumer and gimmick, so let's get rid of it.

I'm assuming you read the whole thread on ask.fedora.  Including the part
where they noted that what they were using to time, was inaccurate.

*Average results:*

systemd-analyze time manual stopwatch
Plymouth: disabled 28.3s 34.2s
Plymouth: enabled 51.2s 37.0s


I personally turn off plymouth, because I like watching the various debug
stuff go by.
But plymouth has its place in making your average computer user not think
their Fedora machine is primitive.

And ... now I see that you are simply linking to your own thread ...

I admit the time argument is a lil exaggerated, but what isn't in the era of fake
pandemic figures.

Then again, plymouth defeats its' own purpose:

it promises a clean boot screen , then garbles it with gimmicky effects and stuff.

disable plymouth and enjoy a clean black surface - well a cursor may remain blinking...
