Re: Setting up on NixOS

Hi!

I think the problems you are encountering must have something to do with
build-users not being setup properly.

But maybe a easier way of getting Guix on NixOS is to just enable it!

Afaik putting

```
services.guix.enable = true
```

in your NixOS system configuration is all you need (see
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/misc/guix/default.nix).
