If you have to su, you can pass it the -p (or -m) flag and that will
preserve your environment (see man su; there's a restriction on PATH
when doing this).

You should also be able to edit /etc/bash.bashrc (might be different
in Fedora, but something similar should be there) to make common
environments shared among all users.
