Asahi Linux Plymouth Theme

This is a Plymouth theme for the Asahi Linux distribution for Apple Silicon Macs.

Installing (works for most distros)

You should have Plymouth installed and hooked into your initrd.

1. Clone this repo somewhere.
2. Copy the asahi folder to /usr/share/plymouth/themes/.
3. Run plymouth-set-default-theme -R asahi as root.

Testing

1. Run plymouthd --no-daemon --debug as root in tty2.
2. Run plymouth show-splash in tty3. The splash screen will appear in tty1.

• Running plymouth with no arguments will give you a list of modes and parameters you can test.

What works

• The Asahi Linux logo shows up
• The progress bar fills up while booting
• Boot time messages appear below the progress bar

Yet to be implemented

Password/text entry (required for users with LUKS-encrypted disks, etc.) Currently, Plymouth will fall back to the tty for user input.
