Guix gets better with every version. Still I do have few "user" hickups: 1. even thou networking and lsh-service are configured, networking does not start, "deco status networking" prints it is running and is e.g. PID 186, but there is no such process... weird as it should respawn. 2. during boot the system twice sets the console font, each time to a different one (this is not always reproducible). Minor. 3. fstab is not "used", I am not sure how to mount additional file systems and swap. 4. I do not have e.g. /root/.guix-profile/sbin in PATH by default, not sure why. 5. still strugglig in how to install a package for global use, probably only thru a "guix system reconfigure" otherwise every user has to do a "guix package -i" to get the app into his profile. 6. I am still not able to add any service myself, if there is at least something like rc.local available, it would be fine to have a last resort to start anything upon boot. 7. Not sure how to properly add a user (again guix system reconfigure would help), as useradd makes the usuall unix user, but is missing some other things like a build directory... Regards Adam Pribyl
