Question about the DISPLAY variable

[christianfosli]

I noticed on a fresh FedoraRemix36 installation on Windows 10 the DISPLAY variable got set to my local Windows IP address.
I do not have an X server installed and it caused xsel to hang which can have some unintended side effects
(see helix-editor/helix#3083).

So I'm just wondering if its intended to work like this. I guess I can just unset it in bash_profile so no big deal 😄

Hello @christianfosli,

Yes, it is set automatically to ease the integration with the XServer. The best approach is what you suggest to unset it in your bash_profile. Just keep it in mind when you upgrade to Windows 11.

Makes sense, thanks!
