    I wish there was a way to disable kernel messages on boot while still having them available on button push.

      Like pressing the escape button during the Plymouth boot screen?

        Yes, but before Plymouth starts you see kernel messages for a second or so. You have to disable them entirely for a seamless transition from BIOS-screen to boot screen. But when you do that pressing escape doesn’t bring them back.

          Do you not have the “quiet” boot parameter set? What messages are you seeing before Plymouth?

          In fedora 41 workstation I have a custom grub and Plymouth theme and don’t see any text from kernel boot during the boot process unless I hit esc while Plymouth is on screen.
