systemd enables setting the environment through environment directives.
Just like how [[id:c7edff80-6dea-47fc-8ecd-e43b5ab8fb1e][systemd at user-level]], you can set it at user-level by placing them in certain user-level load paths (e.g., =$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/environment.d=).
It needs a =*.conf= file in one of the load paths (seen from the =environment.d.5= manual page).
Keep in mind it does not use the shell and instead makes use of shell-like syntax.
The following code block is an example of setting Nix-related environment variables to enable desktop integrations.
#+begin_src ini
# Enable desktop integration with Nix-installed applications.
NIX_PATH=$HOME/.nix-defexpr/channels${NIX_PATH:+:}$NIX_PATH
PATH=${PATH:+$PATH:}$HOME/.nix-profile/bin
XDG_DATA_DIRS=${XDG_DATA_DIRS:+$XDG_DATA_DIRS:}$HOME/.nix-profile/share/
#+end_src
