IMO, the primary purpose of Plymouth is to make Linux emulate Windows' boot and shutdown processes, which is to say, hide all that goes on during those processes behind a GUI screen on which little or nothing happens between BIOS/UEFI screen and login screen. I've heard it enables other things, but those things are apparently nothing I have any use for. The only installations I have with Plymouth installed are all Mageia, which creates a basesystem dependency on it and cannot be removed, only neutered. Systemd's journal takes care of boot/shutdown logging, as well as most other logging. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
