The screen which shows whenever i start Netbeans is very annoying, and among the hundreds of options I can't find the one which turns it off?

To disable the welcome screen, all you have to do is uncheck the box at the bottom that says "Show on startup".

(If I misunderstood you and you were asking about the splash screen, you can disable it by passing the -nosplash parameter.)

As noted in another answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/35648606/1277576), that checkbox is impossible to see on high resolution screens (it is completely invisible).

The solution I found is to specify a small font size at Netbeans startup (using --fontsize 14 as parameter), disable the checkbox and then restore the size I've been using all along, in my case --fontsize 20.
