IMHO, removing the Quickstarter for Linux was a huge mistake and resulted in a
big performance regression for LibreOffice 6.1+.

It doesn't matter if the previous solution worked perfectly or not, it gave a
pretty big performance boost for LibreOffice on Linux systems. Nobody cares if
it wasn't visible as an tray icon, the performance boost was its main function
and reason for existence.

With the Quickstarter in LibreOffice 5.x, spreadsheet and text document opening
operations were done in ~1 second on my 6 year old system (still fairly
powerful, 8-core AMD FX8150, 24 GB RAM, nvme SSD...etc). 

The same operation now takes 3-4 seconds with LibreOffice v6.4.7 (doesn't seem
better on v7.x either). It also doesn't get much better for second and third
file openings.

This makes day-to-day work with LibreOffice very bad on Linux desktops and
makes it massively sub-par compared to the Windows version.

Please, reconsider implementing a new Quickstarter for Linux or bring back the
old one.
