Hum, actually - it looks like on my tablet, dropping 'rhgb quiet' from
the cmdline helps (no 'enforcing=0' needed). Does that apply to others?
# systemctl stop plymouth-halt plymouth-kexec plymouth-poweroff
plymouth-quit-wait plymouth-quit plymouth-read-write plymouth-reboot
plymouth-start plymouth-switch-root systemd-ask-password-plymouth
# systemctl mask plymouth-halt plymouth-kexec plymouth-poweroff
plymouth-quit-wait plymouth-quit plymouth-read-write plymouth-reboot
plymouth-start plymouth-switch-root systemd-ask-password-plymouth
# ll /etc/systemd/system/*plymouth*
# vi /etc/dracut.conf.d/omit_dracut-module-plymouth.conf
omit_dracutmodules+=" plymouth "
# dracut -f -v
Will set you free.
