The manual contains lot of guix features but just a few words about `guix s= ystem reconfigure`. I think there could be options for speed up this proces= s, such as just add service without compilation of that you had before. `guix pull ` takes not much time with my "clean" config. I cannot use (pack= ages (cons* lxde)) and other additions to config.scm until I know how confi= gure DE without recompile everything. I would better try install manually. I understand now that developer has described all guix features one by one,= but has not presented it by system approach. Luckily I have found this htt= ps://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/ . But where find powerful= pc?
