Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background.

The 0.8.10 Manjaro main editions use Plymouth by default.

Installation

Plymouth is available from the Manjaro repositories. However, some steps need to be followed to set it up properly.

The steps from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Plymouth#Installation apply, except the last step;

To rebuild the initrd image, following command is used:

sudo mkinitcpio -p linux<version>

Here <version> represents your kernel version. For example,

sudo mkinitcpio -p linux314

Configuration

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Plymouth#Configuration
