Hi Guixers,
How can we make it easier to install nix with guix on a foreign distro?
Guix System has a nix-service-type but there is no such thing on Debian.

This sounds like a question for Nix or Debian people to me, as AFAICT it
doesn't concern Guix.
Hello Guix,
Coming from Nix, I am considering switching to Guix in long term.
So far, my biggest gripe with nixpkgs culture, i.e. package vendoring,
seems to be well objected by Guix philosophy.
My current goal is to package software I use and/or maintain,
some of which are written in Zig. Since

I'd like to clarify that Rust supports shared libraries (*) just fine,
it's Cargo that insists on source code.

I just installed the nix package provided by the host distro (not

Should we make a guide for developing with js and guix?
For example, how does a js developer use `guix shell` to load a js lib like
node-rimraf in a repl currently?
There's currently no doc for getting started with that iirc
It's a common limitation of packages that provide a server. Guix doesn't manage
daemons on foreign distros, it's the role of your distro.
You might be able to set it up by installing as root, maybe manually copy the
systemd service and hope that's enough. We can't support all methods of running
