+### Setting Environmental Variables
+
+How you set variables will depend on how sway was started.
+
+Environment variables are inherited from the process that starts sway. You need to set variables there.
+
+Some of the possible options are:
+- login manager: check the documentation.
+- login shell: export them there before launching sway.
+- user service: use the EnvironmentFile= key and an environment file.
