System Silent Boot + Splash

Making silent boot persist with systemd-boot

I’m one of those who decided to try out systemd-boot after the grub situation. I would like to turn off the systemd output during startup. Arch wiki suggests adding the quiet kernel parameter to the options line in /efi/loader/entries/*.conf files.

Update 2: After installing plymouth and setting the theme to bgrt I now have the system splash (Vendor Logo)

And for the system splash screen, I did the following:
