How about we add a %desktop-packages variable? I remember reading a bug report about possibly ungoogled-chromium or some package not working properly, because the user did not install a font. Perhaps if people are using a %desktop, there should be some %desktop-packages that most users will want installed by default. Packages would include a web browser, one system font, etc. -- Joshua Branson Sent from Emacs and Gnus P.S. I am subscribed to Guix-devel, please just respond via To: guix-devel@gnu.org. Thanks
