Subject: Maybe I made a mistake?
Date: Sat, 08 Jun 2019 04:38:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6daa895d3418f178d6d9c3d414c3398d@posteo.net> (raw)
So I've been trying to wrap my head around the manual and seeing how
configuration of the system is laid out is really nice, but very
intimidating to somebody like me who only understands stuff like
Trisquel or Debian mostly since I'm used to those distros. Some simple
packaged software that work on those distros like Debian don't work
with Guix System, and I also find the documentation to be really hard
for the non-tech savvy like me to understand. I'm confused when I should
mess with my configuration file or when to do things manually, like
adding a supplementary group for my primary account. More advanced stuff
with Guix is even beyond me at this point.
I really want to like Guix, but for now I might have to switch to
something easier until the documentation gets fleshed out and more
packages that aren't in yet are added to avoid frustration.
