Hello!
I was wandering around in gnome-look.org and found out about the Plymouth theme but have no clue about how to install it:) I tried to copy the theme file into plymouth folder (Computer/usr/share/plymouth) but can't for some reason. I also couldn't find a relatable tutorial on youtube.
PC specs: just in case if needed:)))
Elevated to Root, copy the new extracted theme to /usr/share/plymouth/themes
Once it is in place, in terminal, run the following command to install the theme you just placed in the folder. It must include the path to the file you just placed. Replace EXAMPLE below with your actual theme name
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/EXAMPLE/EXAMPLE.plymouth 150
Run the config to choose the theme:
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
Select the number for the plymouth theme you just installed. For example, if it is listed as number 4, then type 4 and hit enter.
After this is complete, run:
sudo update-initramfs -u

When your are on the gnome-look.org Site and there on the Plymouth theme Site, there is at the right side an Explanation Text with a Link:

I can't copy.
To elevate to root; open terminal and run
sudo -i
Then in that same elevated terminal, launch the file manager
Core:
nautilus
Lite:
thunar
You can then navigate to the places you need to go.
Thanks, It's Done
