@fell@ma.fellr.net 👋 I'm looking to escape the dystopian OS that is Windows. I know some distros resemble Windows in form and function, minus the whole mass surveillance bit. Personally, I wanna game, and cachyOS seems right for me.

@fell@ma.fellr.net Linux people aren't gonna like this, but they can look to Windows for this lol. There's a PowerToys utility for changing environment variables via GUI. It's alright.

@fell@ma.fellr.net it's a little more complicated for environment variables, the RC files that define them are scripts that execute when a new program or shell starts so a lot of them are defined dynamically, not just a X=Y in a config file. You could make a GUI that gives you the ability to statically define overrides for a user but it would have the downside of often breaking programs in unexpected ways for instance with PATH while that seems safe changing it to a static value will break most python tools
