@chriscochrun @phundrak @loke Nice recommendations, thanks.

Im sticking to #exwm for the moment, as Im trying to stay inside Emacs as much as possible.

Given the evolution of #GuixHome it would be super to assess whether I should make the switch to a Guile flavour.

Im overdue rejigging my setup one way or another. Getting my configuration into GuixHome will be the way of resolving some niggles and giving the freedom to switch setups for these functionalities.

Im glad Wayland is progressing!

Just looking at the titles, I now have 2 videos and 3 hours of content to watch from @daviwil and @abcdw #emacs #GuixHome #TreeSitter hoo boy, I never thought I'd have this wild of a Friday /s :p

Since i knew about #guixhome I live in an emacs instance that lives in a gnu guix home. On maintaining your systems ... Let's DRY ?

Such is the powe of 'guix home ...' !

Thanks, thanks, thanks to its creators

@fenix
I have been using guix for months without a problem (in debian), but could not get #guixhome to work properly. Now I have figured how to use guix home and I have began to use it regularly. The key is that the GUIX_PROFILE variable is used only for sourcing the profile (I read this in the documentation somewhere). So in the bash_profile service I source guix-profile. Everything works as expected, both profiles guix-home and guix-profile are sourced (extra-profiles can be used if desired).

@mirkoh well ! I'm glad you asked... I tried to add #guixsd on top of a fresh #debian install.
Then imported my #guixhome file,... I dunno how or why... it happened, but it did happened. I broke my #debix :DD experimental system.

What about your experience ?May i wish you all the best with ?

PS: i'm back to native #guix , now...

I am distro-hopping from #archlinux to #guix

So it is a looooong process since I need to learn many things (like guile), and re-learn others.

For the moment, here is my configuration (#config) for system (#GuixSystem) and home (#GuixHome).

BTW, thanks to @daviwil and @benoitj

BTW, I already have an SSD with #guix installed.

Now I need to setup my #emacs and #exwm with #guixhome.

Anyone using #guixhome in a foreign distro?

There seems to be a separate set of steps involved in order to set and use guix home properly. Any tips would be appreciated.

Guin home overview from guy blog https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2022/keeping-ones-home-tidy/ #guix #guixhome

I did my first ‘guix home reconfigure’! \o/

I used a minimal config to begin with. I had backed up my config files but I was glad to see ‘guix home’ was careful, created backups, and just behaved nicely.

#GuixHome #Guix

Today will be talking about my minimal viable Guix configuration and approach I use to handle it. Will explain how to setup custom kernel, manage dotfiles and so on.

Live in 4.5 hours.

Migrated my Guix System configuration to rde.

This is how my config looks like:
https://git.sr.ht/~abcdw/rde/tree/master/item/rde/examples/abcdw/configs.scm

This is an inherited config with a vanilla kernel:
https://github.com/abcdw/nonrde/blob/main/ixy.scm

Posting mostly for the curious people. I do not recommend to try it yet, still agressively refactor rde project and my configuration based on it.

My new Guix Home rde-based configuration is on the way. Need to implement a few more features first and will be ready to switch to it.

#guix #guixhome #foss #floss #rde

Today we will explore rde, a simple configuration framework for GNU Guix.

It works on top of infrastructure provided by Guix System and Guix Home, and allows to get operating-system or home-environment record by just specifying a list of parametrized features.

Stream starts at 15:00 UTC.

We announced "guix home: Call for Early Adopters".

`guix home` utilizes wonderful Guix package manager :guix: and provide an ability to manage your user's packages and configurations in a declarative and reproducible way.

If you already want to try `guix home`, consider yourself at least advanced GNU/Linux user and have some spare time. Open the link below, read the thread and join!)
