Hi,
when I am using Mate in guix system installed, Mate shell is based on
x-term (as the Info said.)
Do I have to install "bash" and "sh" shell through the command: guix
install bash and guix install sh?
What would be the benefit of installing bash and sh shell?
Gottfried

Xterm is a terminal emulator, not a shell.

Bash and sh are available by default on Guix System.

If you don't already have a benefit in mind, then there will be no
benefit for you.

I am sorry, I meant a terminal emulator.
Which other terminal emulators are useful, because I want to install a
second one (in case of emergency, because I messed the one I had up,
fortunately I could recover it)?

rxvt-unicode is another good terminal emulator.
