That's not great, although at least a splash screen is purely cosmetic. More disappointing is that, even in 2026, the move to Wayland still comes with issues like this:
> Some popups, such as Search Everywhere and Recent Locations, may not be moved outside of the main frame.
and
> Some windows and dialogs, e.g. Project Structure and Alerts, may not be centered on the screen or keep their previous location. This is due to the window manager having total control over windows’ locations in Wayland, which it is not always possible to override on the application side.
