My pixi installation is not in the default but in /home/tibuch/Apps/pixi/bin/pixi.

Is /home/tibuch/Apps/pixi/bin on PATH? Or when is it added to PATH? Your PATH probably doesn't have this directory in it when starting PyCharm.

pixiis on PATH. From my normal terminal everything works as expected.

I am starting pycharm via desktop.entry and then it seems to lose PATH. If I start pycharm via terminal, everything works.

You don't know by any chance how to teach my pycharm PATH when opening via desktop.entry?

That probably depends on your linux desktop environment. You could try to create a symlink for pixi on /usr/local/bin that points to /home/tibuch/Apps/pixi/bin/pixi. /usr/local/bin should definitely be on your PATH.
