Hi, just pitching in to say: I did exactly this (enable guix from NixOS) and can confirm it appears to work. However, it's only on the latest stable channel (23.11). If you're on an old channel, you'll need to upgrade. You can find instructions for how to do so in the NixOS docs, or here: https://

Hi! I think the problems you are encountering must have something to do with build-users not being setup properly. But maybe a easier way of getting Guix on NixOS is to just enable it! Afaik putting ``` services.guix.enable = true ``` in your NixOS system configuration is all you need (see h
