### 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.
