Re: EXWM: file or program not found, ls

Hello everyone :)

so I figured out what the problem was and am super happy it had nothing 
to do with Guix but was related to my Emacs init file.

The culprit was in the (custom ...)-form. I had (exec-path) defined to 
values Guix probably couldn't use properly. Deleting (exec-path ...) 
from the customs solved the issue completely.

I couldn't be more happy. Again, one step closer towards migration :)

Have a good day, thanks for your effort,

Ollivier
