The fix (adding sleep()) works on all my VMs except Ubuntu. OTOH, Leo
loads so fast on my Ubuntu VM that I don't really miss the splash screen.
Funny how some of my Linux VMs are very fast and some are sluggish. I
don't generally find Ubuntu/Gnome snappy, but it does load Leo quickly.
The snappiest distro I've found so far is Manjaro/XFCE. It's become my
favorite so far.
Here are the distros I've tested:
Distro Desktop Display Splash
Manager Server displays?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mint Cinnamon X11 yes
Debian Cinnamon X11 yes
Ubuntu Gnome Wayland no
Manjaro XFCE X11 yes
OpenSUSE KDE Plasma X11 yes
WIndows 10 - - yes
So maybe the splash screen doesn't show on systems with a Wayland display
server? At this point, I'm not inclined tp spend any more time on this.
I'll put in a PR with the sleep() added and call it a day for now.
