I facing the issue that I see no Boot Animation like the spinner and the Ubuntu Logo. Only the OEM logo (ASRock) is shown. I followed some Instructions mentioned in No spinner animation on boot screen (Ubuntu 20.04) but with no success.
I compared my Desktop and Notebook (where all is shown (Dell OEM Logo, Spinner and Ubuntu Logo)) in /etc/default/grub and sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth. Both are the same.
/etc/default/grub:
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
# info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth:
Es gibt 3 Auswahlmöglichkeiten für die Alternative default.plymouth (welche /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth bereitstellen).

I also reinstalled all plymouth related packages and there's no success either.

Edit 2020-11-04: It might be a issue with the proprietary Nvidia drivers as mentioned in this link. I followed this instructions but got no success. Here the same but no success.
Btw. my Nvidia driver version is 450.80.02.
