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.
