I started my computer today and after the BIOS boot logo nothing showed up. Usually Plymouth’s disk decryption screen shows up as my SSD is encrypted. I legit thought something had broken my computer and even updated my BIOS. Still, nothing, just a black screen.

Then I checked Reddit’s /r/Pop_OS and many users have had the same problem. Apparently the latest system update has broken Plymouth, so after the BIOS logo one has to input the decryption password blindly. And BAM – then the Pop OS desktop shows up! I’m telling this here in case anyone else uses Pop OS. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
