I’ve never installed plymouth or anything even related to it. I checked my updates, didn’t see anything here either:

https://0x0.st/P9Pz.txt (paclog --after 2026-03-10 | eos-sendlog)

The only internet searched I found that matched were either really old, or completely unrelated. This system build is about 6 weeks old.
