I didn't know if to add the following, but I might as well do it:

For the specific case of TeXLive (I also use Ubuntu), I don't follow the 
above method, but I prepend the PATH of .../texlive... in 
/etc/environment (I haven't installed yet TeXLive 2021):

PATH="/usr/local/texlive/2020/bin/x86_64-linux:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin"

Also I keep /usr/local/texlive owned by root (a habit from my old Mac 
days), so i have to

    sudo su

in the terminal to update texlive (sudo tlmgr doesn't work with my 
setup: «sudo: tlmgr: command not found»).


Best

Axel
