That's fair (RE: setting/sessions). The method I proposed relies on consistency everywhere else (defining that to something), and assumes Sway if not :P It looks like this (on Fedora) is generally dealt with by the 'sway-systemd' package. That provides a drop-in config (/etc/sway/config.d/10-systemd-session.conf) that runs a script and prepares the environment for you (including this variable) $ dnf whatprovides /etc/sway/config.d/10-systemd-session.conf [...] sway-systemd-0.2.2-1.fc36.noarch : Systemd integration for Sway session Repo : @System Matched from: Filename : /etc/sway/config.d/10-systemd-session.conf It's rather similar to the openSUSE approach you shared, but seemingly a little more robust: https://github.com/alebastr/sway-systemd/blob/main/src/session.sh https://github.com/alebastr/sway-systemd/blob/main/src/sessi... As long as you do this in your Sway config, it should be fine: include /etc/sway/config.d/* I forgot about that adventure until now -- with something like this, you don't need either 'manual declaration' approach really I initially missed it moving to Sway because I literally copied my i3 config and only changed it slightly
