Hi,

Wow!  This kmonad tutorial is the first time I see generic examples 'for Linux' that are silently Nix-specific, rather than, say, Debian.  Ehm... 'progress'...?  :-/ 

Guix System happens to use /run/current-system too, but does not aim to be Nix-compatible.  The Guix System equivalent would be

  /run/current-system/profile/bin/sleep

(I don't know if you're running Guix System or whether 'pack' is just short for package, not 'guix pack'.)

However: if PATH is set correctly and kmonad supports it, I strongly recommend just writing

  sleep 1 && setxkbmap ...

instead.  Otherwise, your configuration will work only on Guix System *and* only if you install setxkbmap system-wide, not with 'guix install.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Sent on the go.  Excuse or enjoy my brevity.
