Thanks, Alex. I'll take a look at how this can be done for Guix. Compared to NixOS I have to say that Guix documentation is more natural for me. I wasn't able to set up and boot into KDE with the help of their documentation so far. Commands to search, install etc feel more natural with Guix. -- ♥Ⓐ ng0 For non-prism friendly talk find me on http://www.psyced.org
