I just rebooted with a changed setup and with GDM as the display manager. What I see is that the screen turns black, but at that moment I also have a mouse cursor already active., so GDM must be active and busy loading the graphics (background, menu, etc). I am not sure how we can optimize this further unless we find a way to make GDM switch off plymouth only when it has finished loading everything. I also tried the splash=silent and this one indeed works. Don't know what happened in the past, but it seems to be initializing plymouth correctly and I will adjust the plymouth packages to remove the part where I change the splash= lines.
