I am seeing that plymouth-start.service is failing to start as a unit. Doing some search across Garuda forums, it seems to have been depreciated for a year as its shown not to be stable software.
However, it came preinstalled with my Garuda and continues to be updated? I uninstalled it via pacman and it rendered my desktop unusable.
