### With this command, you need to select the theme
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
### Apply the selected theme:
sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arch Linux/Debian
### You need to look, if the system recognizes the theme (if the theme is located in /usr/share/plymouth/themes/)
sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -l
### If the theme is in the list, you can apply this with the following command (Also here, *my-plymouth-theme* should be replaced):

Additional Information:
Once the theme has been installed and applied, I hope you enjoy using it.
You may need to add some boot parameters, to make the boot animation more "fluently"
Some examples: "quiet splash loglevel=3 rd.udev.log_level=3"
