Most people don’t give much thought to their operating system, but with Windows 10 support ending in October 2025, many will start searching for alternatives...
I also have AMD and do updates regularly and didn’t have this issue, but I think the problem is pretty apparent and has been for quite some time. Packman repository should not be used by non-knowledgeable users! I am not exactly sure what that means for daily use, but as seen here it creates issues if you are not aware what an update actually does or just press “yes, yes, yes” to all questions in an update process.
In regards to plymouth I have no clue, but it seems this should be easily manageable by booting into a previous snapshot?

Not all hardware seems to be affected (at lest in case of second issue). I have a AMD GPU though and I hit both of them.

Well, I have AMD too and I haven’t encounter either of them… so far. Hope it stays that way.
