abstract question about guix

[matt]

If could please contemplate a script that installs utilities before other certain
things are installed after first a minimal install of a distribution of
GNU/Linux onto the computer. What if the package manager that the
script would use were guix? What systems like typical setups usually
found on free systems, particularly setups or configurations that
have X setup differently or displayed differently? I am not just
writing: I plan to use this sort of logic with a minimal install
of Trisquel.

Your questions are indeed abstract. Moreover, the situation you describe
is hypothetical. How about you install Guix and then come back with your
questions?

Everyone on this list uses Guix as their package manager, and many folks
here are helpful.

You may not need Trisquel. The "Guix System," which should probably be
renamed in order ro distinguish it from the package manager, is a
fully-fledged operating system.

Thanks for experimenting with GNU Guix!

Kind regards,
Felix
