It used to be, that if you hit TAB or ESCAPE when things were just
starting to boot Linux up (perhaps hitting that key a few times), that
the graphical boot screen that's hiding everything swapped over to
showing the textual display showing everything that was going on under
the hood until a desktop greeter login screen (GDM, KDM, etc) became
available.  No actual editing of anything required (as long as they
keyboard had been noticed).

Though I do disable RHGB so it *always* shows me the actual booting
progress.  Two or three Fedora release back, I think F40, my system on
a SSD cold booted so fast it was literally a blink of an eye.  But F42
installed on the same hardware slowly goes through all of that like it
was still on a HDD.
