The easiest way I can think of to keep everything integrated with your Desktop Environment's shortcuts and menu items would be to edit Sigil's /usr/share/applications/sigil.desktop file.

You can add environment variables to .desktop files by prepending "env QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software" to the existing Exec line in Sigil's .desktop file.

The entire new Exec line would be:

Exec=env QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software sigil %F

The only downside is that you'd have to remember to redo it any time you updated Sigil.

You could also modify Sigil's launch script /usr/bin/sigil and export QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software from there. It would work much the same. But it would also be wiped out after a Sigil update.

You might also copy the existing /usr/share/applications/sigil.desktop file to your own ~/.local/share/applications folder and make the edit there. I'm not entirely certain that way would work, but if it did, it _should_ survive Sigil updates.

Hope something there helps.
