Anything else?

Attempted to solve using claude code but it started messing with my .bashrc file to export XDG_DATA_DIRS and BROWSER to force my browser path.

@kat624 This was tested with Fedora, this could be the problem with OS.
Not sure we can help much here, but will try to see if we can offer any workaround!
