So I’ve installed Elementary 6 Beta for testing purposes. Cool.
On every single boot I was greeted with this…

I wanted to get rid of it so I’ve decided to track what application was starting this pop-up.
To figure it out I’ve installed xdotool
sudo apt install xdotool
and then ran this command and clicked on the “Welcome message” box to focus it:
sleep 5 && cat "/proc/$(xdotool getwindowpid "$(xdotool getwindowfocus)")/comm"
Turns out that the culprit was:

So I started killing off all the io.elementary.* processes that were running with my user permissions and the window was gone after I’ve killed:
io.elementary.onboarding
So I ran:
sudo apt purge io.elementary.onboarding
And after a reboot the message was no longer appearing.
