    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.
