From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Gnome terminal takes ages to load, I am convict this is not supposed to happen lol.

Anybody experienced something similar?

Edit: the same behavior with gedit and firefox too. take about 30 seconds to launch.
I have no idea what might be.

Only under i3? My Ubuntu box has something slowing bash startup, probably in my profile but I haven't dug into it yet 😅

Yes, only with i3. But I realized it is not only gnome-terminal but every program. Just tested with gedit and firefox. it takes about 30 seconds to launch.

Weird, are you launching them with an i3 menu? Is it faster to start programs from an already running terminal?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I was using the dmenu ($mod+d)

Opening from an already running terminal also is slow. When I have one instance of the program already running all other instances opens super fast (aka expected behavior).

The standard DE of my distro is gnome, IDK if this should interfere.
