Ok so I tried alt+d it switched over to text mode. I didn't see any error it booted right to a black screen. I can ctl+alt+f2 to get to another screen and I still get the "a start job is running for wait for Plymouth boot screen to quit"

Not understanding. At what point in the boot process should I be doing
that
... as soon as you see the boot animation. When you see the grey screen, use Alt+d on the keyboard to switch to the text output. There, you will typically see text that describes why the boot process isn't completing.
and why would I need to do that at all?
Because long ago the debugging text was deemed confusing, and a graphical wallpaper was placed over it.
Seems like it's something wrong with the Plymouth and plymouth-scirpt packages.
That's unlikely. Those packages are probably just hiding the actual problem.
