/etc/profile - This had some random default shell configuration in it (YMMV), but also notably had the loop logic for /etc/profile.d, as you’d expect.Having reviewed what was in my /etc/profile and /etc/profile.d configuration, it was clear that both Snap and Flatpak add things here assuming users are including BASH primitives in their shell startup. The issue, in particular, is related to a variety of installation platforms assuming that /etc/profile will be used as a baseline for including things into the user’s path and various environment variables. It turns out this disappearance is a common problem. Eventually I was able to discover it was applications I had installed through Snap in particular, such as the Atom Editor). Periodically after I would update KDE Neon via the Software Center I would lose links to some (though not all) of my applications.

Thankfully, I’m not the only one that had this problem, and there is a straightforward (and in hindsight obvious) fix. However, recently I kept having trouble with my personal workstation losing track of my SNAP-installeed applications (in particular the Atom Editor) while running KDE Neon. I’m a regular ZSH user, and overall it works just fine as a replacement of BASH.
