My grub theme

The background (versions) and the yellow text change with each reboot :D

I completely forgot that grub could be themed… brb
- You can customise your console login with /etc/issue too!
  
  Woah, how did you make this??
- Post ~~screenshots~~ photo please

That is kind of awesome.
I wish Debian’s default Grub theme was less ugly; I know I could change it (and I have on other installs, but I’m quite lazy about theming these days. Part of it is I have a laptop that I rely on for college and don’t want to risk any theme glitches, so I keep its Debian install as vanilla as possible.

  The first time I tried doing it (alone, without watching the video), I broke the system ;(, had a boot problem, so I had to reinstall everything again.
  
  Fun fact: you didn’t have to reinstall; you can actually boot up a live usb and chroot into your install to fix things.
  
  I'm sure you could have fixed it with GRUB Rescue. It's slightly annoying, but it isn't that hard to get booted from that. Once you get it to boot then you can fix things.
  Don't give up so quickly next time. It's useful to learn how to fix it instead of just accepting failure and resetting everything.
This is so peak I'm going to cry
I love it
Meh. I'll be impressed when it plays Aria Math.
(j/k, this is awesome, I love it)
I would have gone with GrubCraft but awesome otherwise.
I love this. Might steal it later if I'm feeling ambitious one day

Cool, I was using that (or one very similar) for a while also. I have changed that to a Fallout Theme for Grub some time ago.
Grub theming is such a great little feature
Omg I love this
I have my system select the default option really quickly, so I don't see GRUB. This makes it tempting to not do that, but I think I'll accept the convenient option instead of the cool option still.

  On mine, it’s already set to boot into Arch automatically. It shows in the bottom right corner: “Joining world in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.” It’s really cool, man!
- You can add a couple second delay so you at least see the theme on boot, if you don't mind boot taking a few more seconds.
  
  Yeah, I just don't care to wait to get into my system. It's not worth it to me. If this was customizing something I needed to see anyway I'd go for it, but I'm not adding time to boot up just to see this.
