Somewhere along the line I removed "rhgb" from there, one way or another (*), I don't recall ever running grub2-mkconfig, and I've certainly never run it at every kernel update. * I don't recall which method I used to remove it from the kernel command line, but it's not in there, and my system is running fine. It's the one change I make to booting up Linux, I want to see that it's actually booting and not jammed. And if it has, I want to see where, straight away, no horsing around after the fact.
