Hi Guixers,

---------------------------------------------------
I have got 4 questions:
---------------------------------------------------
1.question

I created a "init.el" file for Emacs.

Where should it go in Guix SD?

I have got a hidden directory (or should I say "folder"?) in my user 
directory: .emacs.d
and a hidden file: .emacs

David Wilson proposed:
~/.config/emacs/init.el - Follows Linux desktop environment guidelines 
(recommended on Linux!)
This means to create a directory "emacs" in /.config directory
--------------------------------------------------

2.question

If I have questions about emacs where can I ask?
Guix help is for Guix, but where can I ask for emacs questions?

There won't be probably not many, but when I have time, I am working on 
setting up my emacs and am starting to use it more often.
--------------------------------------------------

3. question

in my created init.el file which I put into the directory /.emacs.de

for learning I added:

;; Display line numbers in every buffer
(global-display-line-numbers-mode 1)

When I press C+M x with the cursor between these lines there appear the 
line numbers immediately.

When I close emacs and open it again the lines don't appear.
This means that my init.el file is not read.
How can I configure this, so that everything I put into my init.el file 
will be recognised, when starting emacs?

----------------------------------------------------

4.question

To start with the right order structure,
( I like order without disorder)
I would like to put everything in my "init.el" file.

I choose the "misteriose-theme.el (on the startup screen: "customize 
startup")
it created a "misterios-theme.el" file in my /.emacs.d directory.
I thought it should go to the init.el file, which I have created later.
Can I copy the content of this file into the init.el file?

in my /.emacs file there is this content:


(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.

  '(custom-enabled-themes '(tsdh-dark whiteboard))
  '(font-use-system-font t))
(custom-set-faces

  '(default ((t (:family "DejaVu Sans Mono" :foundry "PfEd" :slant

Probably it was created, when I choose the new theme.
