Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.
I always set the timeout to 0 in /etc/default/grub, that gets rid of the first screen.
And with plymouth installed, add “quiet splash” to the kernel parameters in the same file, that improves the rest (although it’s still not perfect).
Some distros have this set up out of the box. Ubuntu even compiled their own grub version to make booting look better (and Mint uses it too).
