From 09acdd314249385cff402adaa22c9e3e6ed0c69f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thiago Jung Bauermann Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2025 15:21:29 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] etc: guix-install.sh: Set XDG_DATA_DIRS. This allows better integration of packages installed by Guix with the foreign distro. E.g.: 1. .desktop files from applications installed by Guix can be found by the user's desktop environment. 2. Fonts installed in ~/.guix-profile/share/fonts can be found by GUI applications without having to install the fontconfig package, as the the "Application Setup" section of the manual recommends. * etc/guix-install.sh (sys_create_init_profile): Add $GUIX_PROFILE/share to XDG_DATA_DIRS.
