Webstorm starts up really slow on linux...
I'm on Ubuntu and the latest build for webstorm and for some reason it takes forever... to load webstorm.
Is there anyway to make it load faster? I have no issues on mac.

Does the problem only occur on 'cold' start (after re-booting), or on all starts? You can troubleshoot slow startup by enabling sampling and taking snapshots - see https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241235-Reporting-performance-problems, Profiling Slow Startup.
Also, can you check how much time it takes to start WebStorm without projects opening (Settings | Appearance&Behavior | System settings | Reopen last project on startup off)?
It occurs on every cold start.
I see... Slow 'cold' start is a known problem all Java applications suffer from:( IDE loads about a million of classes (hundreds of megabytes) from disk and JVM startup itself is also not instant.
Please make sure that WebStorm configuration and caches folders (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544519-Directories-used-by-the-IDE-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs) folders, application install dir and your project directory are not scanned for viruses.
Storing configurations and projects on synchronized, backed up, encrypted, shared or in any other way non-standard local disk folder may also cause performance issues
I see, I didn't realize the first part. After the first init, everything is hunkie dory so I guess it's ok for now.
