Trying out Guix for the first time! Waiting for packages to download.
I’m a long time Arch user. Any tips?!
I’ve heard there aren’t as many packages for Guix as other distros, but I was thinking Flatpak and distrobox will help bridge the gap for me.
YES! That’s my plan! I think I just figured out how to configure
flakpak
a little better.These are only part of the steps needed: https://flatpak.org/setup/GNU Guix
You also need to source
~/.guix-profile/etc/profile.d/flatpak.sh
in order to get the desktop icons to show up in the GNOME app launcher. (Usingguix home
for that!)Need to work on getting distrobox setup next. I was able to
guix install distrobox
, but it requires some extra configuration apparently.
