Hello Guix, Is there a way to share Guix and its store between several distributions?
My situation is that I have a Guix system installed as my main system, but I would like to install another distribution on the same machine (a current Debian, specifically) and use Guix as a package manager there, in order to benefit from its ability to create reproducible environments. Of course, it works to have the other distribution completely independent, with its own Guix store. The only thing is to handle Grub correctly to give access to both distros. But it feels like a significant waste of resources, since I will end up having many things in both stores. Moreover, ideally I would like to share home directories between the two distributions, by mounting the same partition as /home, and still be able to use `guix home` and `guix shell` in both distributions. By some minimal tuning, I can make it so that users have the same UIDs and GIDs in both distributions. But I imagine that using Guix in both distributions can become problematic if they don't share the store and the state in `/var/guix`, for instance if they don't share GC roots. Is there a proper way to make that work? Or is it a bad idea? -- Emmanuel
