Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You could probably steal the entire Plymouth config from Ubuntu 18, may have to downgrade/install Plymouth in 23
Yeah I’ll probably download an old Ubuntu in a vm and steal the Plymouth theme
Wasn’t showing up in defaults.Plymouth so I renamed it to one of the themes I wasn’t using but now when I boot it turns off after a few seconds. Anyone know what this is?
Edit; this happens in the boot menu now too? What the hell
The joys of trying to get Ubuntu to do what you want 😅. Do you have logs from the boot in /var/log ? May be able to get it booted with the alternate grub options
Oh man, you brought back memories. Memories of when Ubuntu was awesome.
Which ubuntu had this boot screen?
I don't have an exact answer for you, as I don't even know what distro your 'old' version was.
Linux is mostly open source, but people can't help you as much with a 'purple background and 4 dots' description as they can with exactly what distro you were once running.
