[Bug 1868240] Re: Nvidia systems will never see a plymouth splash screen (if they boot in less than 8 seconds)

[Daniel van Vugt]

In fact any GPU type could experience a similar bug to this if the
graphics hardware gets initialized slower than the rest of the system
boots. So Intel users could see similar issues. The main improvement
will come from fixing bug 1869655 in future.

** Summary changed:

- Nvidia systems will never see a plymouth splash screen (if they boot in less than 8 seconds)
+ Nvidia (proprietary driver) systems will never see a plymouth splash screen (if they boot in less than 8 seconds)
