Some distros do have ~/.profile (I think Debian does).


Yes, but that's still a user-specific file, not one that applies to all users.

Bash will read ~/.profile if it's a login shell and neither ~/.bash_profile nor ~/.bash_login exist. See the INVOCATION section of the bash manpage.

and if ~/.bash_profile sources ~/.profile (as I said), then it's distro-wide. My point.
