openSUSE Boot Logo Integration and Refinement (Urgent: Completion in 2 Days) -- 2

Job ID: 39675829

Budget: ₹2,000 – ₹7,000 INR

I'm looking for a technical engineer with expertise in openSUSE to help me integrate my custom BIOS logo with openSUSE 15.4 seamlessly.

I already have the logo in my BIOS and now require integration with the OS so that:
- My logo is displayed seamlessly from BIOS boot to the login screen without any interruptions or text display.
- The solution aligns with supporting openSUSE 15.4's boot and system configurations.

Preference will be given to freelancers located in India or those who can work in Indian Standard Time (IST). Additionally, the person should guide me in setting up remote access and take remote control as part of the process rather than only providing code instructions.

Timeline:
- This project needs to be completed within 1-2 days.

Budget:
- The maximum budget for this project is ₹7000 INR.

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Strong knowledge of openSUSE/Linux configurations, GRUB, plymouth, and Ubuntu configurations.
- Experience with boot logo setups and graphic refinements specific to Linux systems.
- Familiarity with systemctl, plymouth, and similar tools.

Looking forward to solutions that make my logo display consistent and uninterrupted during the entire boot process!
