you didn't remove it though
it says here splash is still there
orchid carbon
i removed it, still no change
when you start your pc, a grub menu should pop up. if it doesn't then spam ESC right after powering on. press E on the linuxmint entry and delete the splash argument, then F10 to boot

instead of doing all that, put it back to the way everything was, and just press Esc key as soon as Mint starts to load and shows a big logo.
torpid timber
have you maybe considered that i want mint to show the text automatically and not press esc every time
orchid carbon
no splash parameter
show a screenshot
torpid timber
of?
orchid carbon
scroll down to find the linux line..??
or I have a different idea, not sure if it will break anything though. just remove the Plymouth package and any data, it just won't load it on startup and won't display the data

yeah idk why it works for me but not for you then. you can try to remove Plymouth
orchid carbon

If it doesn't boot anymore and stuck there, you can try:
Step 1: Boot into Recovery Mode
Restart the system and access the GRUB boot menu:
Hold Shift (or Esc for some systems) during boot to bring up the GRUB menu.
Select the Advanced Options for Linux.
Choose a kernel with (recovery mode).
Once in recovery mode, select Root Shell or Drop to Root Prompt.
Step 2: Check Plymouth Removal
If the issue started after removing Plymouth, some configurations might still reference it.
Reinstall Plymouth:
sudo apt install plymouth
Update the GRUB configuration:
sudo update-grub
Reboot:
sudo reboot

You should know you cannot directly edit grub.cfg it is generated each and every time grub is updated. You need to edit /etc/default/grub.
This is also why the first line of text on grub.cfg is DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
Also notably removing plymouth also removes lighdm mint-meta-cinnamon mint-meta-core... and so forth
removing plymouth is in short not good
This is the list of packages I get when I ask a Mint 22 vm to remove plymouth ```The following packages will be REMOVED:
lightdm mint-meta-cinnamon mint-meta-core mint-meta-xfce plymouth
plymouth-label plymouth-theme-spinner plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text
slick-greeter
i think i know why i f'd up then
also for the record i reinstalled mint
tbh i think it really needed it anyways, it was filled to the brim with stuff
