I'm guessing the expected usage is to write a shepherd service. Looks to me like almost everyone using Guix uses shepherd / mcron, not systemd. I hacked something together for systemd, but haven't published it. Also, it looks like you're not using Guix home, which I think is the best way to use Guix on a foreign distro. So I suggest looking into that: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Home-Configuration.html > 2.

In ~/.config/systemd/user.conf (file probably doesn't exist yet): [Manager] ManagerEnvironment="XDG_DATA_DIRS=%h/.guix-profile/lib" In case the %h doesn't work for you (depends on systemd version), write /home/rodrigo (or whatever) instead. After restarting the user session, it should pick up the unit files. You can check the paths that are checked for user unit files with: systemctl --user show -p UnitPath --value and of course, the following: systemctl --user list-unit-files "thunar*" > Ideally, I want to install a > package and just execute =systemctl --user start <<service>>=. Just making sure, but are you sure you want to start, and not enable, or enable --now?
