Hello,
Every time I boot or restart my system, these system loading messages appear as shown in this image.
How can I hide these and go directly to the login screen?
These messages are perfectly normal. They show what the booting process is doing, starting up all kinds of processes and modules.
Other distro’s may not show these messages. In stead they show some “graphical boot screen” with blinking dots or a turning wheel or something like that.
You can of course install such a “graphical boot screen” on endeavouros, but it won’t speed up your boot process, because in the background all these processes and modules will have to be run anyway.
If you want a graphical boot screen your could search for Plymouth. That’s the one I remember, but others are available.
At the expense of having nothing to debug with if your system should ever have issues, by hiding these boot messages.
Just had to say it.
How is this applied?
Excuse me, I’m a beginner.
I have no experience myself, so I can’t help you with first hand experience.
For Plymouth on arch/endeavouros there is a wiki:

Hopefully others chime in with their suggestions for other boot screens.
Here’s guide for Endeavour OS.
True, but from what I remember from using a system with Plymouth, pressing ESC toggles between showingmessages and boot screen.
Not sure if that is still the case though.
You know…I didn’t know that I just knew that I had no idea what was going on with a boot screen.
As several have already written, it’s good info that you get, so why do you want to hide it?
Well, to be fair to plymouth, it does make the boot process look more unified when it’s set up right. I’m happy enough with the wall of text though.
Got to say I was rather happy with the wall of text earlier when apparently I can’t type the word ‘default’ and instead added a line saying ‘defualt’ in my fstab file
Don’t do it! You’ll regret it at some point.
Probably right off the bat.
@aaoaa As noted by others above, those boot up messages are providing info that may prove to be essential if/when you encounter an issue to be resolved. You will need to share some of that text with others if you need their assistance.
Getting rid of this info would be like hiding your medical test results. If you don’t want to look, don’t. But hiding the info by installing and using an otherwise useless app is not a great idea.
Personally, I enjoy watching all those [OK] messages scroll by. Warms my heart. But if they unnerve you, perhaps you can simply divert your gaze?
Ratified
please post the actual text and not a picture of the text.
