So there is no /bin/bash and /bin/rm. We do not support third-party binary packages. Please do not install them on Guix system. These packages will not work normally on Guix. (Yes. There are dirty tricks to make them work. But we do not recommend them.) PrivateInternetAccess provides OpenVPN access [2]. Please try the free OpenVPN package from Guix: `guix package -i openvpn`. > Which I suppose relates to the way Guix packages software. I know it works > easily on Trisquel at least, but I enjoy Guix System very much already! Guix is very different from traditional GNU/Linux distros. Have fun with Guix! And feel free to ask questions here.
