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.

I can't remember all of them but now I have a weird issue that when I open Alacritty there's some loading going on in the background for quite a few seconds which I can even see on the cursor (I think it's "xdg" that's loading) and even reinstalling the system didn't help
Oh I think I know what you mean. Did you try setting your shell to something like
shinstead of bash or zsh and see if it was a shell startup issue?sh is just an alias for the default shell. And also idk how to set that
And your default shell is a POSIX compliant shell, usually dash or ash, so that's what I mean by
sh. You can set it in~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.tomlwith:Just tried that. Didn't help
