I tried to research plymouth. I found little information about it;
no hint of any configuration or customization file.
Its only config is the theme to use as I recall.
I wrote one of those theme for an embedded system a long time ago.
So I'm very nervous about removing plymouth.
Wise to check.
It is safe to remove. I do it all the time.
When you do the dnf remove you should see this:
$ dnf remove plymouth-*

Is this ok [y/N]:
As you can see only plynouth files are remove.
My Fedora router and file server have already had these RPMs removed.
systemd is setup for plymouth to be optional.
