Bootloader animation #18

Closed jaromil closed 8 months ago

jaromil commented 8 months ago

Customize a Plymouth theme to show a d:b rotating logo animation while waiting for boot.

Should be easy with a little bit of python knowledge. Docs are linked here https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Plymouth/Theme_creation

We ditch Plymouth and use KDE plasma boot anim, done!

@jaromil It's worth noting that plasma's anim is not a "boot animation". It runs arbitrarily after the login. This means that on a fast system it will give the impression of a slower boot as it inserts itself between the login and the desktop's appearance, for the period of at least one animation loop.
