Plymouth not working in Kubuntu

In this thread I explain my problem. When I switched from Ubuntu to Kubuntu I lost the boot splash that I had with Gnome. I have no idea why. Please help me get the best boot experience from Linux as possible. Thank you.

You're using refind, you need to specify the quiet splash parameters in refind config. You can do this every time you boot by manually editing the entry, for example if you want to test that editing this would work, or you can edit the config file with the boot parameters.

I don't know how you have your refind configured, mine has a /boot/refind_linux.conf file where I can put the boot parameters, e.g. mine looks like this:

"Boot with standard options" "rw root=/dev/nvme1n1p2" "Boot to single-user mode" "rw root=/dev/nvme1n1p2 single" "Boot with minimal options" "ro root=/dev/nvme1n1p2"

- Here is my /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf file. I've only ever added the theme line at the very end. As a new linux user editing this scares me so any help from anyone editing this so that plymouth will work would be appreciated.
  
  Read my answer again, that's the wrong file.
  
  Also use Pastebin or something similar, people are not going to add random stuff to their google account just to help a stranger on the internet.
