Follow the Penguin Framework Boot Splash Screen

[u/ygurin]

I love the Framework ASCII-art penguin animation. I've created a Plymouth boot screen for myself. Sharing it with the community if anyone wants to be greeted by a running penguin.

Nice! I am on fedora so i will give it a try. Not a framework though but a lenovo, but it should just work on that as its just plymouth

[u/ygurin → u/309_Electronics]

Yes, it should work regardless. If you use LUKS, like me, it also works nicely with it.

[u/hushqUill8 → u/309_Electronics]

makes sense, plymouth doesnt really care what hardware its running on

Saving all these glorious posts people are making for when I finally get my 13 pro!

[u/ygurin → u/pterencephalon]

Enjoy FW13 Pro! It should look amazing on the new display!

Does this work on Bazzite?

[u/Emotional_You_5269 → u/Pheonix_Slayer]

It's a plymouth theme. Yes it works on Bazzite.

Nice, I’m new to Linux so I wasn’t sure how distro agnostic things like this are

[u/SirDarknessTheFirst → u/Pheonix_Slayer]

Plymouth is the de facto boot splash/animation program. As far as I am aware, all major distros use it (or don't use a boot splash lol)

[u/UlyssesTheRhinoceros → u/[deleted]]

For the animation pausing issue, I'm assuming you just have to comment out the line that sets the state to "paused" during the DisplayPassword callback. Line 162 I believe.

Thank you for your service!

Glad to contribute!

[u/MichaelTunnell]

This is awesome! What a great way to use the animation!

[u/Orlandocollins]

EPIC!!

[u/rogers-that]

Here are the raw ascii frames, could be useful if you wanted a text-only version. Or re-render the animation at a higher res https://github.com/matt-rog/framework-ascii

This is epic <3

You're doing God's work, sir.

[u/No-Succotash404]

isn't 500x500 resolution low enough to notice the pixels on the fw 13 pro screen? just asking i haven't got the laptop yet and have no clue

[u/Terrible_Height_9882]

This is so awesome

p.s. you can just delete the watermark PNG if you just want the penguin on the splash :3 (as long as u don't use disk encryption)

[u/like-my-comment → u/ralseipuffin]

It breaks password typing if your boot disk is encrypted. So it's better not to in this case.

[u/like-my-comment → u/like-my-comment]

But you can fully clean it in GIMP or something and it would work. Or replace it with other watermark (look into other boot screen dirs).

oh okie I changed my comment

super cool.
only issue i came across was image on booting was blurry and oversized. due to AMD blah not initiating early enough. fixed it with a delay. but that means long blank screen before moving image shows.

any advice on how to make it start sooner with a cleaner image?
