Hello Tycho!

As far as I understand the manual ~/.bashrc is not sourced from a login-shell, 
see https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Bash-Startup-Files

At least in Debian 11 the default ~/.profile cares for sourcing ~/.bashrc, that 
might explain the effect you describe.

Best regards,

Martin
