Gnome-terminal slow start for first instance on arch

I am using the Awesome window manager with Arch, kernel 6.5.5. When I start gnome-terminal for the first time and every other time where I don't already have an instance of gnome-terminal running, it takes several seconds (~20 seconds). I have tried using the gnome window manager as it was suggested in this similar issue and it does fix the issue, but I don't want to use another window manager. I am very interested in how to investigate and solve this problem, but I am unsure of what to look for.

journalctl --user -r

Stating that xdg-desktop-portal-gnome.service is having trouble starting. A recent update fixed this issue on my pc. the packages below where all updated.

xdg-desktop-portal-1.18.0-2
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome-44.2-2  
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk-1.14.1-3

Just to be clear, I did not manage to find xdg-desktop-portal-gnome.service with systemctl on my pc.
