If I remember correctly, using nvm on Debian to install the newest version of node silently appended lines to my bashrc. Friends don't silently append lines to my bashrc.

nvm is not node. and there are better options for managing node versions (eg mise).

Or fnm! I use it and it's lives up to the name (it's much faster)

Agreed fnm is much better than nvm. But mise is potentially more compelling bc it can do more than just node.

How do you switch Deno versions on Debian?
