It's because we don't source /etc/profile or install a wrapper that sets up the environment. Ubuntu does; their LightDM installs a Bash script in /usr/sbin/lightdm-session that does all the work. snapd also installs its own script in /etc/profile.d/ but it's sourced by login shells only (as it should). Other display managers (and LightDM itself on Ubuntu) "cheat the game" in order to provide convenience for their users. I'm not really sure if there's a better means of doing this. The fact that snaps don't show up due to this is quite annoying, I agree. > Thank you! To you as well!
