ultrakill-plymouth

A Plymouth theme of Ultrakill's game launching sequence ( note, for the GRUB menu theme, go to this project ) :

(Please also note that this was ran in a VM with a subobtimal resolution, not the 1920x1080 version that I give here, so the screen isn't filled correctly)

Installation

It really depends on your distro's way of updating plymouth theme, here is how to do it on Linux Mint :

Linux Mint

git clone https://github.com/Hash-AK/ultrakill-plymouth
cd ultrakill-plymouth/LinuxMint/
sudo cp -r ./HD/ /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ultrakill-plymouth
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth ultrakill-plymouth.plymouth 80
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth # choose the corret number for the theme in the menu
sudo update-initramfs -u

Moreover, you may need to delay your boot if you want to see the full animation. The only way I found yet on Linux mint was to delay lightdm.service with this :

sudo systemctl edit lightdm.service
# under [Service], add ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 6.5 (change the number until the boot is more or less correct)
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart lightdm.service
reboot

Arch

git clone https://github.com/Hash-AK/ultrakill-plymouth
cd ultrakill-plymouth/Arch/
sudo cp -r ./HD/ /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ultrakill-plymouth-arch
sudo plymouth-set-default-theme ultrakill-plymouth-arch -R

As for Mint, you may need to delay the boot, this tiem editing plymouth's own service :

sudo systemctl edit plymouth-quit.service
# Under [Service], add
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 13 # adjust the time accordingly
