I wish to change a couple of boot settings like which kernel my Garuda instance boots with and customize some stuff like like the grub background and splash screen. I am using the KDE Dragonized version and the default ones are too edgy for me (Sorry dragonfire :P).
First of all, I am using a custom kernel which comes with some patches for my particular laptop. Every time I boot, I have to manually go to "Advanced options for Garuda" on Grub and select that particular kernel to boot. I have tried changing this in Garuda Boot Options, but it always boots with the default zen kernel anyway.
I haven't tried the GRUB customizer program as someone on forum said people have had issues after using it.
Secondly, I need to change the grub background image/theme. How do I go about doing that? Simply install some theme from internet and select the theme.txt file in Garuda Boot option?
Lastly, the splash screen. I thought the splash screen in KDE settings changed that. Turns out it's only for login splash. I have no idea how I go about installing some custom splash screen and setting it through garuda boot options.
