Or to be more precise, .bashrc (and any file that's read from it like
.bash_aliases) can run anything the bash CLI can run with the same
privileges. Of course, anything requiring user input like entering
passwords won't work. The same is true for .profile, but with the twist
that depending on which shell is reading it, other syntaxes may be
possible/required, while .bashrc and similarly named files are pretty much
bash-exclusive. So as long as it's something that should run upon login,
like setting user-wide environment variables.

.profile is simply more universal. E.g. I'm mounting cloud storage drives
through rclone. Since I put the command into .profile, it won't just be run
when I log in to the bash shell, but also when I log in to Gnome. I don't
think that would be possible with .bashrc.
