SteamOS3: Please move functionality from .bashrc
On current SteamOS3, the .bashrc is filled with 100s of lines of vital code. This is a per-user file and modifying it is very common. On an OS that usually comes with a readonly fs to stop users from breaking things, having vital code at such a place is really intimidating. The code should be moved to another file and only be referenced from .bashrc (or handled by the init system, where possible)
Hi, this has been fixed in the latest beta and all the content has been moved to a system-wide file.
Note that old ~/.bashrc files are not modified, if you want to start again with a clean one you can use /etc/skel/.bashrc as a template.
This has also been fixed in the latest stable release
