Here's what I use to visualize my $PATH
| ~
| $ alias paths
| alias paths='echo $PATH | tr '\'':'\''

Yeah, I've got something like that, too. You could use bash's parameter
expansion's feature pattern replacing, though, to save you the
subshells:
echo -e ${PATH//:/\\n}
Meaning: substitute every occurence of ":" in the string saved
in "$PATH" with "\n" which will then by echo be replaced with a
newline
(that's what the "-e" option of echo is for.
and here is the $PATH search order:
| ~
| $ paths
| /home/leslie/bin
| /home/leslie/.local/bin
| /opt/trinity/bin
| /opt/trinity/lib64
| /usr/local/bin
| /bin
| /usr/bin
| /usr/local/sbin
| /sbin
| /usr/sbin
| /usr/local/lib64
| /usr/local/lib
| @02:29:59,leslie@pinto rc=0
(I put /opt/trinity/... before the main executables because for a
while at least, some Trinity programs were named the same as KDE
programs.)
The TDE paths are usually set by /opt/trinity/bin/starttde. My path
contains only /opt/trinity/{bin,games}, no lib64. That's on
Devuan/Debian. What do you need the lib64 part for? I guess you set it
yourself in one of your start up files?!
Kind regards,
