I just installed Arch Linux for the first time. I'd like to achieve just a black screen when booting until I'm asked for the login. I'm using grub as a boot loader. And added the line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="vga=current quiet loglevel=3 rd.udev.log-priority=3 splash
to the /etc/default/grub
and updated grub, but I still see the message like
Booting >>Arch Linux<<
for a split second on startup (actually the text is german). I'm not 100% sure, whether this is printed by grub, but that's my current guess.
Does anybody have an idea how to troubleshoot this/hide the message?
the answer given by @h313 does not actually achieve what was asked for. Note that the two

statements begin with "Loading", and not with "Booting". That one is hard-coded into GRUB and in order to remove it, GRUB will need to be patched and recompiled. Alternatively, you may get lucky with https://github.com/ccontavalli/grub-shusher/, which doesn't seem to be maintained, though.This file starts with "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE". Because it is auto-generated. Look in
/etc/grub.d/
for the files from which it is generated, but I guess those belong to packages, and those may be overwritten as well. – Tamás Barta – 2019-03-15T22:19:29.793
