I sometimes use an old laptop with Fedora, with full disk encryption. When booting up, there is a text input box for the password to unlock the disk. When I hit enter, the screen content "immediately" changes (continues booting). It often feels like I hit enter before I typed the last letter of my password, but then I see that it apparently worked. The latency of that input box is just so much lower than usual, that it confuses me.

I’ve noticed that too. I have kind of a wonky password that’s hard to input correctly due to having to hold shift for 2 characters in a row that are in the middle of the password. I’ll enter a password and completely think that it was wrong just to be let in. It often feels like I clip the last letter wrong too and I just get let in. Fun.
