How did you install nvm?

Arch - nvm AUR

What steps did you perform?

Open new gnome terminal by shortcut

What happened?

Terminal opened but bash didn't show for 20s (when HD was slowed down by copy)
While HD moderatly used - bash show in 1-2s ( https://youtu.be/Ie4Nnml55-g )

While HD was very busy and terminal load in 20s, i used different already open terminal and while doing ps i found that it's stuck at "npm" command:

What did you expect to happen?

NVM loads without slowing down anything ;)

Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?

Don't think anything related

This is known; nvm use invokes npm config get prefix, which is slow for some users.

At the moment, the workaround is to nvm unalias default, or add --no-use to the sourcing line in your profile files, and then to manually nvm use as needed.
