I was trying to figure this out until like 3AM last night. How do I set environment variables to be loaded into my X session when XFCE loads? I’m on Arch btw. I want to set DRI_PRIME=1 so that applications started from the launcher actually use the discrete graphics card by default. Right now it only works like that if I launch from the terminal.
I tried multiple potential config files to put it at, and the one time it actually worked, I lost my window manager… The other times, the desktop environment didnt even load or start the session. Undid everything and decided to come back later.

I’m kind of out of date with modern Linux stuff, but can’t you throw that in the
.xsessionsrcor.xinitrcfile?I tried certain iterations of those, and the usual result is that my session fails to initiate. I’m probably doing that wrong.
