I appreciate your comments and will take them into account. Agreed Ricardo, I will read the cookbook, thanks for the recommendation ... If I would like to continue learning Guix and especially put it as my main system, only that I was missing that package to use it on a daily basis. Another question, how could I change the theme in GNOME? Since in other distros, it was simply to put the theme in /usr/share/themes, how could I do it in guix? Thank you very much again.
