Is there a way to go from BIOS -> Splash Screen -> Usable Desktop?
I am using XFCE4. I have followed the instructions for silent boot as per the wiki, and am getting only two text outputs. The first is the "Booting Arch Linux" message and the second is the automatic login notification. I would like to first get rid of the login message, if possible. The second goal is to go from BIOS to a splash screen to the desktop with nothing else being displayed at any point. Is this possible to accomplish? If yes, then how?

If you start X from a bashrc/profile with autologin to the tty then I don't know if you can do this. You could, instead, set up a graphical target.
But if you want a splash screen, that would be plymouth:
