• Step 1. Install bootsplash-systemd and bootsplash-manjaro (or any bootsplash theme you like)

• Step 2. Edit the mkinitcpio.conf file: sudo nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

• 2.1. Find the HOOKS= line and add: bootsplash-manjaro (or the name of the theme you have chosen)

• Step 3. Edit grub configuration file: sudo nano /etc/default/grub

• 3.1. find the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line : remove the quiet word and add at the end: bootsplash.bootfile=bootsplash-themes/manjaro/bootsplash (adapt according to chosen theme)

P.S: You can find the installed themes on the following path "/usr/lib/firmware/bootsplash-themes" {alertInfo}
