The new plan for 25.10: 1. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/issues/290, for cleanliness and to get https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/merge_requests/323 included.
2. Ubuntu to use plymouth.use-simpledrm by default. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/issues #290 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/issues/290 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1869655 Title: Boot splash starts too late to be useful Status in Plymouth: New Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: The boot splash and animations start too late to be useful. Modern systems spend all their boot time (a couple of seconds) decompressing the kernel. During that time the user only sees the static BIOS logo (ACPI BGRT). Then when Plymouth can finally start animating, the startup process is already finished and there's virtually no time left to show any useful animations. This could be fixed in: grub: By adding a splash under the BIOS logo to show some progress _before_ a Linux kernel is even started and/or plymouth: By preferencing legacy framebuffer devices (like EFI) over DRM, if we find those are available a few seconds sooner. That would also fix bug 1868240 completely, and bug 1836858 mostly as the flicker moves to when the login screen starts.
