Here’s an old one, and here’s the one I found. You can see these are all similar, but a little different. In mine, it seemed to be caused by systemd-initrd+plymouth, in the old one it was just autologin, and in this case it was network-online.target. In fact it’s all just because it’s hard to ensure that GNOME and getty@tty1.service don’t fight each other, so the solution to all of this will be to put GDM on tty1 and allow its Conflicts=getty@tty${initialVT}.service do the work.
