@vanvugt Coming from the other bug report I'm trying to describe my problem:

First of all I don't see purple as I have disabled the purple grub by running
chmod -x /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme

Secondly: In Ubuntu 19.10 there is no flicker happening for me, while in Ubuntu 20.04 there is a flicker. Why is that? There must be something in 19.10 that is not part of 20.04.

In Ubuntu 20.04 the bios logo appears after grub, then it flickers just before the spinner shortly (during the flicker a white cursor appears on the upper left corner of the screen), you can see this here:

during second 6 and second 7 (in reality it's much better noticeable than on the video).

Compare this with the boot process of Ubuntu 19.10 where there is not a single flicker:
