The super groovy Plymouth splash screen can have issues with different video cards, and specific grub settings.
If, after installation you are having issues with Plymouth, there are a couple of things to try.
First is to add: "splash" to grub command line in /etc/default/grub, like so:

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

Then update grub from the terminal:

sudo update-grub

If this does not solve your problem, please refer to:
https://wiki.debian.org/plymouth
and:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/kernel_mode_setting
for different ways of enabling mode setting for different video cards.

If you do not want the plymouth splash screen at all, remove with:
sudo apt remove plymouth plymouth-themes

As always, if you have something to add or change that may help others, please post!
