Why Emacs config file disables Welcome message only if this line places to .emacs but not in .emacs.d/init.el

Why Emacs config file disables Welcome message only if this line places to .emacs but not in .emacs.d/init.el

Hello! I plan to type some russian translations for guix manual sometimes again.

I still have undergraduate level of emacs and have annoying ignorance of how to configure emacs.

For example this line can hide "Welcome" frame:
(setq inhibit-startup-screen t)

I placed it into ~/.emacs.d/.init.el where I have placed my po-mode lines and they works.
But exactly this line does not work. I have po-mode in emacs but I still have "Welcome" window.

I placed this line "(setq inhibit-startup-screen t)" to ~/.emacs and I finally got "Welcome" window away.

My next step is russian spell check. Need to have some basics of how to deal with this great instrument!

Can you advice some good tutorials for better understanding emacs?

Hello! Sorry, that is commented line starting with number sign '#' but it should be semi-colon ";"

Here is my configuration:

1. I installed "aspell", "aspell-dict-en", and "aspell-dict-ru" packages.

2. I put the following into my ~/.bash_profile:
   (Perhaps, this step is not needed: I don't know if it is
   auto-configured by Guix nowadays; it was not in the past)

    aspell_dir="<my-guix-profile>/lib/aspell"
    if [ -d $aspell_dir ]; then
        export ASPELL_CONF="dict-dir $aspell_dir"
    fi

3. Now, you should be able to select "ru-..." languages after
   "M-x ispell-change-dictionary".
   You can even set it as default in your emacs config like this:

   (with-eval-after-load 'ispell
     (ispell-change-dictionary "ru-yeyo" 'global))

4. Finally, you can use commands like "ispell-word" (bound to "M-$") or
   "ispell-region".
