Hi, There is a setup PR [1] proposing to move ~/.i18n to ~/.config/i18n.
Historically, ~/.i18n has been sourced by login scripts to allow users to override the system locale, which was previously configured in /etc/sysconfig/i18n and is now configured in /etc/locale.conf. It is also mentioned in the glibc documentation [2]. However, I have not found any Fedora documentation that explicitly references this file. This raises the question of whether ~/.i18n is still needed today. With systemd, users can set environment variables through ~/.config/environment.d/*.conf (see man 5 environment.d), which could serve the same purpose. Should we: - keep the current behavior, - move the file as proposed, or - drop support for ~/.i18n and recommend ~/.config/environment.d/*.conf instead? Is there any other mechanism currently expected for user-specific locale overrides on Fedora? Thanks for your input.
