Debian Grub - display a splash image/animation for the entire course of the boot (similar to KUbuntu)?

**The issue -** I am looking into displaying a splash image as soon as I start my computer instead of a blinking cursor. For instance KUbuntu does this, it displays an animation during the *whole boot* instead of blinking cursor/dmesg output. **What I've tried -** I tried installing plymouth and modifying grub configuration but I only get a blinking cursor for the first 10 seconds of the boot and then the default plymouth theme for a brief second, I want it to be displayed during the entire duration of the boot. My */etc/default/grub* configuration: GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
