Strangely enough, if you start anki with `anki --no-sandbox`, it treats `--no-sandbox` as though it were a file to import and open up the irritating

> Please use File\>Import to import this file

message on every start-up. What helped me was to add an extra `""` to the command:

```auto
anki "" --no-sandbox

```

Hope this will be useful to someone else as well.
