I use ~/.config/environment.d/ for this (I'm on Fedora). Unfortunately
it is overwritten by the defaults in Bash (regardless of whether I set
any PATH in ~/.bashrc or not. I'm pretty sure you can just source the
files under ~/.config/environment.d/ from ~/.bashrc though but I
haven't bothered testing it.

My PATH variable:

$ cat ~/.config/environment.d/80-path.conf 
# This is overwritten by bash currently
PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$GEM_HOME/bin:$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH
