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.
Omg yes, I hate those. I’m sitting here thinking it’s probably one of those simple things that scares people away from Linux…“Oh god, I see black text on white background. Abort, abort, ABORT!!”

Mine only switches modes once, on load save backlight.
