Adding those lines to .bashrc helped with flatpaks but not with nix.

Oh, thanks a lot for the efforts! You really are one of a kind to conduct an experiment to help out a stranger on the internet. Yeah, this actually works. I just added those lines to .xsessionrc and all problems were solved.

If you don’t mind my asking. Do you work in IT as a sysadmin or a developer or a cybersecurity expert? Or something else? I am just curious as to how may have gained such knowledge.

Changed it allow execution for the owner. Still no results. Tried with both .profile and .bash_profile.

Thanks for the response. Adding those lines to .bashrc helped with flatpaks but not with nix.

Thanks. I don’t use lxqt as my DE though. I use a custom DE based on i3. I will look into it.

I only have .profile. Actually adding those lines as to .bashrc as suggested by @palordrolap@kbin.social helped for the flatpak commands. But the issue with .desktop files for programs installed using nix still persists.

Thanks a lot. That works.

I don’t like to leave problems unsolved. Secondly, brave comes with default adblocker. What better FOSS chromium alternatives are there?

Hi, Thanks for the response. Sorry for disturbing you. I have tried what you have suggested here. There are two files with matching timestamps but different PATHs. I am using i3wm in Debian 11. Please tell me how to deal with this issue.

Thanks for the response. But in my case, even that does not work as well.
