Description Jack O'Connor 2017-11-07 23:26:42 UTC 
https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/Wayland/SessionStart

That page discusses the system-wide config dir /usr/share/gdm/env.d, but not the newer, user-specific config dir ~/.config/environment.d. I'd like to edit this myself, but it's currently immutable.

Systemd version 233 (March 2017) added support for setting environment variables in `~/.config/environment.d/*.conf`. Relevant links:

If you create a wiki username I'll ensure you have the ability to edit it.

Unfortunately due to really persistent spammers the wiki is protected.
