Heya there. So, I've been having this problem with Plymouth for about a month on a computer with Sid, an AMD graphics card and GDM as default graphical session. Only today I considered going into the BTS, and found this bug report. Apparently, it *was* indeed the Systemd service.

That's what `/etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service` has set by default, and it doesn't fix the problem. I replaced the mentions to `plymouth-quit.service` with `plymouth-quit-wait.service`, and - surprise, now it works! The transition to GDM is not perfectly smooth, but at least it lets me use the computer. I'll try out now to see if mentioning both `plymouth-quit.service` and `plymouth-quit-wait.service` makes any difference. Anyway, please fix this soon, it *is* critical and we already have a solution!
