build it in a distrobox container

then once you've built it, layer it via rpm-ostree on a host terminal

oh well it says there's no rpmbuild package

Mind you installing an entirely new boot logo will require doing unreccommended things.

Sets the plymouth theme to

details which just scrolls the init logs past your face.

And text-prompts you for your LUKS passphrase if that's a thing you do.

/var, /home, and /etc are yours to play with

Yes,

plymouth and it has several themes. Installing new themes is much harder than just using the existing ones.
