Hello Guix! First timer here!
I recently attempted to install GUIX SD on my laptop. After about 5 initial iterations I was finally able to get GUIX SD on my laptop so that it just worked. I used the basic config for my first try and I kept on modifying that config for the subsequent 'init's. Here is my current config: https://gitlab.com/83bytes/guix/blob/master/myConfig.scm 1. Is there any way to remove all desktop services and run it in a do-it-yourself mode (much like with Arch Linux) i.e. login into terminal and startx to start the Xorg ? 2. From reading the docs I figure that we are supposed to write config.scm for everything including web servers. This also means doing a `guix system reconfigure` after every change (even the trivial ones like setting up another virtual host etc). Is there any way I can *not* do this and run certain services like Apache or cron without declaring them in the config ? 3. If i do not declare a service in the config and i go on using it traditionally (assuming we can do that); then does it mean that this undeclared service will get lost upon a `guix system reconfigure` ? 4. How do I modify elogind settings ? ( i want to disable power button and lid button controls ) 5. When i do a `guix size <package>` the sizes are generally huge (1.3Gb for icecat in my system). Why is it so ? 6. Is there a list of which packages are available as rebuilt "substitutes" ( is this correct ?? ) and which ones need to be built locally ? Thank You, Sohom
