I just ran a test, and putting a new config file inside /usr/lib/environment.d only works for Gnome, and doesn't work for Mate, Cinnamon or SSH (tested by opening a terminal in the respective session and examining the environment variables). From what I gather in [1], systemd is not a standard way of interacting with the user's environment variables, and only Gnome has decided to use it. So this method of implementing this change seems to be making the default editor for Gnome be nano and not changing the defaults for anyone else. > We might want to do this as a profile.d snippet for all the major shells: bash/ksh, zsh, csh, and fish. That should work basically everywhere, afaik. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
