[https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Plymouth Plymouth] is an application that runs early in the boot process, providing a graphical boot animation, it is used by most desktop-oriented Linux distributions.

== Usage ==

As an example, you can use a boot animation from [https://github.com/adi1090x/plymouth-themes adi1090x's collection] like so:

{{file|configuration.nix|nix|<nowiki>
{ pkgs, ... }: {
boot = {

plymouth = {
enable = true;
theme = "rings";
themePackages = with pkgs; [
# By default we would install all themes
(adi1090x-plymouth-themes.override {
selected_themes = [ "rings" ];
})
];
};

# Enable "Silent boot"
consoleLogLevel = 3;
initrd.verbose = false;
kernelParams = [
"quiet"
"splash"
"boot.shell_on_fail"
"udev.log_priority=3"
"rd.systemd.show_status=auto"
];
# Hide the OS choice for bootloaders.
# It's still possible to open the bootloader list by pressing any key
