gimp: Start without a splash screen.
$ gimp --no-splash
try on your machine

The command "gimp --no-splash" is used to start the GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) application without displaying the splash screen or startup logo.

When you launch GIMP, it usually shows a splash screen that includes the GIMP logo and some information about the software version. The purpose of this splash screen is primarily to provide a visual indication that the application is starting up.

However, the "--no-splash" option is used to bypass the display of the splash screen when opening GIMP. By using this command, GIMP will start directly without showing the initial splash screen, saving some time during program startup.

This option might be useful for users who want to quickly start using GIMP without any delays caused by the splash screen.
