Worth noting from the original article

Fedora is working around this in their latest packages by beginning to probe SimpleDRM immediately. Fedora / Red Hat though isn't the only ones using Plymouth but is largely in use by all major Linux distributions of the past decade. But in recent years the AMDGPU driver has only continued to grow much larger in supporting newer GPUs and tacking on additional features and optimizations.
