It allows to choose between various, static or animated graphical\nthemes to spruce up the startup and avoid the noise generated by the vast amount of kernel\nmessages while the machine boots into X. On systems where kernel-based mode setting is not\navailable, plymouth falls back to a text mode boot screen which provides a simple progress\nbar to pro‐ vide feedback during boot.\n\nIn order for the configured default plymouth theme to be loaded during boot, the option\n`splash' (or `rhgb' for backward compatibility with the RHGB boot splash) must be provided at\nthe kernel command line. Without this command line option, plymouth will default to showing\ndetailed boot output.\n\nDuring the boot process, the user can switch between the graphical theme and the detailed\nboot output using the Escape key.\n\n### SEE ALSO\n\ngrub(8), plymouth-set-default-theme(1), plymouthd(8), plymouth(1),\n\n#### http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Plymouth\n\n### AUTHORS\n\nplymouth was originally prototyped and named by Kristian Høgsberg, originally written by Ray\nStrode and has had significant contributions from Charlie Brej. It has also had contributions\nfrom Peter Jones, Adam Jackson, Frederic Crozat and others.\n\n\n\nplymouth                                                                                 PLYMOUTH(8)\n\n"
