elementaryOS is always showing grub on boot. Is there a way to disable it?
I know of two ways to solve this: 1. (Easy) install Deb package from link: https://github.com/swanux/plymouth_theme_elementary_legacy/releases/tag/5.1 2. On Greeter's github user "dennismayr" made a comment teaching how to manually restore the Splash Screen: https://github.com/elementary/greeter/issues/554

Should KDE switch to GDM?
I've said it in the past and I'm happy to repeat myself: The best option for Plasma is still LightDM with a custom greeter, just as it was common in the later Plasma 4 days when KDM was still the default but deprecated in the real world. So dusting off LightDM-KDE, picking up another Qt-based greeter such as https://github.com/firatakandere/lightdm-dynamic-greeter, or build one from scratch is certainly what should be done.
