  • My HP crapbook doesn't have this OEM logo bullshit. Only the windows bootloader shows it, and the logo file is stored in the BGRT. So I don't think I'm affected unless the WBM or systemd-boot have this vuln.

    Mine:

    1. Screen turns on
    2. I pick EndeavorOS in systemd-boot
    3. It starts spitting out logs (I love this behavior)
    4. It switches modes once the backlight is loaded
    5. I log in
    6. KDE loads
    

    I will never understand people who install Plymouth, it just adds complexity in the boot process. If your distro installs this then I understand why: so it doesn't look like you're "hacking the government". If your distro doesn't install it and you install it then you probably picked the wrong distro.

    Systemd is what most programs and systems have come to expect, and you shouldn't bother changing your init system unless you have a VERY GOOD REASON.

    Some people hate it for not following the unix philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well, but at this point nothing does except stuff like cat.
