Hello! Recently I tried to install Plymouth. I went to the official Wiki article called Plymouth and followed the instructions. OK, i prefer to install Plymouth from official repository.
The problems started from the very beginning of the installation. At first, initramfs image could not be created because of firmware's aic94xx, qed, qla1280,qla2xxx,wd719x and xhci_api wasn't found. OK, I installed It from AUR going through URL provided by this article https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mkinit … odule_XXXX . Finally, Plymouth was installed successfully and without errors ('image generation successful' or something like that). I also added 'plymouth' to the mkinicpio.conf's HOOKS after 'base' and 'udev' (and,by the way, there was no 'udev', after 'base' but 'systemd' so I added 'udev' manually to the HOOKS. So I saw that Plymouth Start Service FAILED to start. OK, went to the terminal and checked status of all plymouth-related units in systemctl:
>plymouth-quit-wait.service |loaded active exited
>plymouth-quit.service | loaded active exited
>plymouth-read-write.service | loaded active exited
>plymouth-start.service | loaded active exited
So, I manually started all of them by entering systemctl start. Nothing changed.
Also, just in case, I installed dracut as it recommended by paragraph 2.2 in Plymouth's article on Wiki and also nothing changed. Dracut not created file myflags.conf.
And what strange is after installing dracut I see that Plymouth loading properly (OK) but without splash. So, It goes like this: [OK] Plymouth Service Start [OK] Plymouth Show Splash [OK] Terminate Plymouth... And splash screen don't shows!
I really hope for your support because I tried everything possible described in articles.
My DE is GNOME 43.4, Kernel is 6.2.8-arch1-1, using Gnome Display Manager.

The hooks for systemd is replacing udev, so the configuration you had was correct. I don't use udev either. This is the hooks I'm using,
HOOKS=(systemd plymouth autodetect keyboard sd-vconsole modconf block sd-encrypt lvm2 filesystems fsck)Running plymouth myself without issue. Note that if you use systemd (like me), you should use the plymouth hook, not sd-plymouth as it was until recently.
