Hi,

You most probably have an issue with your dotfiles.
Some comments below:

Remove the trailing `&`.  This syntax is used to start processes in the
background, but here you are sourcing configuration files which should
be done synchronously.

It may have a typo.  Try commenting out any modification done to PATH
and try again.

Nope, it should not matter if the second line was applied properly.

Try creating a new user with no modifications done to the dotfiles.
Then import your dotfiles gradually do see which one triggers the issue.

Cheers!
