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 adi1090x's collection like so:

❄︎ configuration.nix
{ 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
    # It will just not appear on screen unless a key is pressed
    loader.timeout = 0;

  };
}
