It is for that user that only uses the machine to write and read emails, create and read text documents and spreadsheets too. I know the current desktop.scm contain some of those features and that after that guix package --install pidgin libreoffice icecat clawsmail (and so) can provide the necessary packages. But I would like to make an installation that is just as trisquel is. It is not necessary to have the same configuration or the same packages. But it would be useful to have it as easy to just use as is Trisquel. Any ideas of how to do this? -- Saludos, Quiliro
