soo, i havent changed anything and it randomely decides to stark working, maybe it could be related to the fact that today was the day i installed flatpak. but now ots stuckon the same one (spinfinity) and i cant change it, i mean i can and have applied the changed settings multiple times and it shows as done everytime but actually doesnt change during boot. ---

I understand 🎣 it’s a very easy snack to install the package and it sets up Plymouth completely automatically. ---

Yes! Just download the latest package and install it. Easy peasy… 👍 I already tried installing Plymouth in the past, but it never worked.
