    (use-package dashboard 
      :ensure t 
      :config 
      (dashboard-setup-startup-hook))

To replace the startup screen with a list of recent files, bookmarks, and Projectile projects you've recently visited.

Remember, though, that just like this document describes, a big part of Emacs is not running it repeatedly, but rather starting it just once and keeping it alive basically forever; you're only rarely going to see the startup screen if you're doing orthodox Emacs.
