How do I change the Linux Mint logo on the splash screen? The one that appears when booting the system.
Or where is that image so I can replace it with something else?

You can switch between the installed splash screen with these 2 commands in the terminal:
One command after the other; the second command is only needed, if you effectively switched to another one.
Note, that other splash screens may produce several side effects (not showing correctly, not allowing messages to appear).
Code: Select all
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

So I can't simply replace the existing image with one that has the same dimensions and file format?

You find the files inside the subfolders of /lib/plymouth/themes. I have never felt the need to deal with that, so I have no idea, where you might come into trouble.

When I replace what I thought was the mint logo image in /lib/plymouth/themes/mint-logo it ignores what I've done and displays the mint logo.

after a bit of searching I found this command
Code: Select all
sudo update-initramfs -u

You can bypass that screen entirely by logging in automatically.
