What they are saying is that they do not want a graphical boot.
Same for me, I disable the current graphical boot and have a pure text boot on all my machines.
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
Ah, yes, that is also true :-) Just run "cat longtxtfile" and compare it to "cat longtxtfile > file"
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.
True. And my guess is that it is slower in Linux, because the terminal is a complex abstraction, there is no direct video memory write.
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...
:-)) Right. So it is not about speed, but about what each one likes.
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)
Good :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
