to put it simply, the graphic driver loads slower than the rest of the system. I fixed it with these directions.

Get your precious Plymouth splash screen back

I didn't not follow the directions from this particular website, I couldn't find the one I used but these are the correct direction. I have mine back and can now remove the "quiet splash" and see the boot messages if needed.

Edit: while there is an detailed explanation of why you might want to check out, I and going to copy and paste the instructions below in case the link expires.

Open a virtual terminal and type the following command:

sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash

This file may not exist, so you may be creating it from scratch now.

Enter the following content on the file you opened on the previous step:

FRAMEBUFFER=y

Close and save the file.

Now, run the following command to commit the change:

sudo update-initramfs -u

Reboot and enjoy your Plymouth splash screen.
