Would this affect systems booting to the refind bootloader without secure boot? Sorry for the ignorance just trying to figure out if I should be changing my system for this news.

Thank you! Changing the line to "rw root=/dev/nvme0n1p4 quiet splash" did the trick. Your actually said /dev/nvme1n1p2 so I know enough about partitions that I changed mine to dev/nvme0n1p4 to fit my case. I only know that much about it because I’m running a duel booted system and had to deal with partitioning when I set it up. Your right to point out that I’m a bit over my head when using refind, but I changed it instead of using grub because I like the customization with themes and I read somewhere that it could help with windows updates messing up duel booted systems.

edit: I’m now having a new problem where it’s not using the boot splash screen that I specified in the settings. It just the oem logo with a kubuntu logo under it. At least I’ve made some progress 😂

Sorry about that, I edited the comment to a pastebin link. Okay here is my /boot/refind_linux.conf file:

"Boot with standard options" "ro root=UUID=96e2ea68-742d-4309-ae9f-4d12ba668b21" "Boot to single-user mode" "ro root=UUID=96e2ea68-742d-4309-ae9f-4d12ba668b21 single" "Boot with minimal options" "ro root=/dev/nvme0n1p4"

Should I just edit the boot standard to "rw root=/dev/nvme0n1p4"

edit: tried that change and it did nothing

Here is my /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf file. I’ve only ever added the theme line at the very end. As a new linux user editing this scares me so any help from anyone editing this so that plymouth will work would be appreciated.

You have to be a huge piece of shit to get people rooting for the reptile that is Mark Zuckerberg.

Xenophobia (from Ancient Greek ξένος (xénos) ‘strange, foreign, alien’, and φόβος (phóbos) ‘fear’) is the fear or dislike of anything which is perceived as being foreign or strange.
