Fault tolerant is far more important than user-friendly because a
reliable system is far easier to make user-friendly than it is to make a
user-friendly system fault tolerant.

Thanks Efraim!
That helped a lot. I Switched to version 5.11.3 and swapped qt for qtbase
and some extra qt libraries and that moved me past the one blocker. Now I

Don't know if you are kidding ;), but even not being a native English

playing whith Guix told me that was thinking of both Guix and Nix, and

FWIW, I agree that error handling when booting the Guix system leaves a lot to
