[HOWTO] Start X server manually instead of using a login manager

2018-07-19 Thread Alex Kost
Hello, People often ask how they can use startx/xinit on GuixSD. It is possible, although it is not as easy as on other distros. Hopefully, this tutorial will answer some questions on the subject. At first, a couple of points: - We will run X server with user privileges, so if something goes w
