integrally, SNIP There are people that like a graphical boot, but none of those has commented yet on your idea.
Just saying, but if you want FAST BOOT, you also don't want terminal outputs - tty is relatively slow
Just to show 'how slow' a lot of output can be (yes, this is definitively exagareted and luckily not as much output as any boot would give):
time "find /usr" real 0m7.765s
time find /usr > /dev/null real 0m0.485s
And no, it's not caches, both runs were on 'hot cache'; it's just that printing out the a lot of output costs time.
Depending on what graphical mode your system is in to print out boot logs, it might be even slower (or less noticable)
So the static graphical boot splash might actually boot faster than a verbose boot log...
But that's drifting apart. AS for the OT: I do like graphical boot and am definitively not opposed to nicer things. The linked theme though does not tickle my taste at all - but that's personal taste. If the distribution license permiits, you can even package it as a separate grub theme and ship it in TW (there is also plymouth-theme-breeze, which is probably not very different to the one linked)
Cheers Dominique
I have appreciated your feedback as you are one of the main openSUSE contributors, not just because - generally speaking - you are not against the usage of graphical boot, but especially because you have clearly exposed evidences which make easy to understand that the real root cause of a particular problem, sometime could be other than what seems to be.
