From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thank you! Changing the line to
"rw root=/dev/nvme0n1p4 quiet splash"did the trick. Your actually said /dev/nvme1n1p2 so I know enough about partitions that I changed mine to dev/nvme0n1p4 to fit my case. I only know that much about it because I'm running a duel booted system and had to deal with partitioning when I set it up. Your right to point out that I'm a bit over my head when using refind, but I changed it instead of using grub because I like the customization with themes and I read somewhere that it could help with windows updates messing up duel booted systems.edit: I'm now having a new problem where it's not using the boot splash screen that I specified in the settings. It just the oem logo with a kubuntu logo under it. At least I've made some progress 😂
Cool, didn't noticed you changed it to your actual partition, although I should have because there's no reason for me to have 4 partitions on my disk. That being said using UUIDs for booting is better than device names, if you add or remove a drive the device name can change. In my case it's a laptop and only has one name slot so I'm fairly sure it won't change, plus I had to write that file manually when I first installed my system so I was lazy and used the device name, but you already seemed to have the proper UUID there, so changing it to the device seems a bit backwards.
GRUB is also customisable, although I agree that refind looks a lot nicer. I don't think refind is any better than GRUB in dealing with Windows updates, the problem is that Windows has this annoying habit of formatting the MBR so it essentially wipes all other boot managers from the drive, which is why people recommend having windows in a different drive so it can't fuck up your boot manager, but I know that's not always a possibility.
As for the splash screen being wrong I can't help you there, I actually like the checks scroll that's the default without a splash screen so I've been using that for a while now.
