DansLeRuSH Having a solid state drive on my system, my laptop boots up to the Solus login screen in like 15-20 seconds. Adding a splash screen to that would only increase that time, and since I don't spend any productive time during booting up, I'm happy to have no splash screen. I suppose it's a trade off, do I want something as efficient as possible or something that looks nice, but not as efficient. Don't get me wrong though, I think your splash screen idea looks beautiful, but for the devs to incorporate something like this into the distro isn't a top priority (simply put it's cosmetic only), but more importantly it would take time to create this and make it work for users when that time could be spent on the new installer, or upgrading new gnome/kde/mate stacks, or work on Budgie 11, etc. Anyhow, keep up the great Inkscape skills btw!
