Yeah… you do understand what the $ZDOTDIR is? Why is this not solved?

b42 · 2023-10-16 14:06:42

so I solved it.

The issue was that I had set $ZDOTDIR in /etc/zsh/zshenv and it was sourcing all zsh files from there, so in order for .zprofile to work from $HOME, I had to remove /etc/zsh/zshenv file.

and by the way, $ZDOTDIR was solved at that time as you can see from my printenv. It is just that the same folder was set in /etc/zsh/zshenv as well, so it read all the zsh files from that specific dir, including .zprofile
