I=E2=80=99ve seen a lot of users run into problems like that. The usual su= spect is one of the XDG_* variables. There may also be problems with caches that are loaded by programs from Guix *and* the system, and with standard locations that can affect the behavior of applications. One problem manifests itself as a crash when displaying a file dialog, for example. These are not unavoidable, but it=E2=80=99s certainly surprising and annoyi= ng when it happens. Of course, Guix is still a very helpful tool, no matter what distro you happen to use underneath. --=20 Ricardo
