Yes, it is. You would need to edit the file /etc/default/grub

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

In this file you'll find an entry called GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT edit the file so it looks like this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet ... "

Just add quiet in that line, without removing anything, then run

sudo update-grub

and reboot. You shouldn't see any boot messages.

I have found that line but "quiet" is already added

the line looks like this: grub_cmdline_linux_default="quiet loglevel=3 systemd.log_color=0 systemd.show_status=1"

and right under that line is this one:

grub_cmdline_linux"="

but the one you mentioned is not there...

Yeah, you're right. Sorry about that, I wrote that out of memory. Edit the file, comment(add a hashtag) in the first line

#grub_cmdline_linux_default="quiet loglevel=3 systemd.log_color=0 systemd.show_status=1"

and add quiet to the second one

grub_cmdline_linux="quiet"

,
Should look something like this

Update grub

sudo update-grub

Reboot. Now you should see no boot messages.

You want a plymouth screen? Read here https://wiki.debian.org/plymouth Note that this might increase the boot time, maybe not by much, but you were looking to improve that in another thread, and adding this will add stuff to the boot process.
