Greg Wooledge:

If there existed a single, universal, simple answer, don't you thinkwe would have put it on the wiki page?

I think that login.conf is a step in the right direction, and I'mplanning on making tools that support it. Or, rather, on making thetools that already support it on the BSDs also support it on Linuxoperating systems.

* https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=login.conf

* https://man.openbsd.org/login.conf

* http://jdebp.eu./Softwares/nosh/guide/userenv-fromenv.html

I already use them to set the GUI environment from login.conf on TrueOS.
