I think there is a way to turn off the animation somewhat, a member of my family also has the cringe OEM splash screen and they were able to disable the animation and the sound.

Of course, if you can afford a Republic of Gamers computer then you can definitely afford a System76 machine or a Framework which have very not cringe coreboot BIOS. Those machines + something like universal blue will get you the least cringe operating system in the world.

Oooh these are neat. Definitely going this route whenever I can afford to upgrade.
