What user experience do you actually expect to achieve, from the changes
that you're suggesting?

Bootloaders like Grub these days will already use graphical modes. The
SeaBIOS splash screen can also be graphical, and you can go seamlessly
from one to the other. What is it that you actually *want*, in real
terms? I'm not even sure you know...

Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of using a splash screen then GRUB use the same resolution and the same splash screen and it would transition smoothly without any flicker or resetting of the screen mode, and then it would go from there to Plymouth which would use the same splash screen, and it would transition smoothly to the login manager.

From boot to desktop, always in 1900x1200. Smooth experience. No flicker.
