Given that bash is not used for login, your environment-variables block has not effect. Now if you were to define that inside a variable, you could also write up a service that generates systemd unit overrides and add those definitions to it. I'm not sure how well-received such a service would be upstream given that we don't use systemd in Guix, but it's a point to start. Cheers [1] https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48300#7
