FWIW, as an openSUSE Tumbleweed user, I believe Tumbleweed users who don't care if there is an easy way to uninstall Guix would be better served by using =guix-install.sh= as opposed to =zypper=. The issues of "unnecessary files" applies to Tumbleweed as well (and I believe the same would be true for Debian as well). In addition, the manpages can get out of sync. The reason for the latter is that doing =sudo -i guix pull --fallback= doesn't generate manpages. However, the version of Guix installed via =zypper= does install manpages (presumably generated via =help2man=). As such, after updating Guix, running something like =man guix= results in outdated manpage being shown. If Guix installation is done via =guix-install.sh=, no manpage is shown which, in my opinion, is the lesser evil. On a related note, it would help if Guix would install manpages in addition to infopages. Not sure if this omission constitutes a bug or a missing feature. -- Suhail
