Build 0114f3 — Plymouth quiet boot

Pre-release ISO from cursor/plymouth-boot-splash-04b0 (not merged to main).

Since Build 0114f2

  • Plymouth boot splash — backroot8 theme (same centered emblem on black as the existing bootscreen) from initramfs through desktop load
  • Windows-style quiet boot — default GRUB entry uses quiet splash; initramfs progress only with br8.debug
  • Removed legacy splash — fbi / backroot8-splash.service / feh X splash handoff
  • Debug GRUB entry — Backroot 8 Live (debug) disables Plymouth and shows init logs

Still included from 0114f2

  • OOBE loading screen handoff — /run/br8-oobe world-writable so panel-ready works for the new user
  • Install wizard / OOBE flicker fix (pixmap double buffering)
