From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oh wait - it's simple as that? Nice!
Guess that's all I need.
You can probably disable it entirely by changing the kernel boot options.
I'm not a kernel expert, but that's just quiet and splash right?
Yup, pretty much.
As others mentioned Esc during boot. You can also configure this in your grub config so you don't have to hit escape, assuming your distro uses grub. Other boot config options will exist in other systems.
For grub it also depends on the distro as to where it is, but look for /etc/default/grub edit that and on the lone that has GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT remove the quiet and splash options. So if it looks like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
change it to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
Then run "sudo update-grub2" to make it effective.
That's a useful addition, thanks!
Press ESC
Yup, works, thanks!
