Subject: [PATCH] [Linux] Add CLI flag to hide the window on startup

I like to start this program when connecting to my AirPods and it isn't
necessary for me to have the window pop up. Therefore, using the --hide
flag when starting the program will hide the window on startup.

This could also be a configuration option (e.g. 'Start minimized') but I
went with the CLI flag for simplicity for now. However, if this is a
more viable option (and it may be better in the future), I can implement
this as an option in the settings instead.
