guix pull . . . . guix upgrade
I jpst googled it and got these steps (haven't tried them yet):
To set up a Nix service in your Guix configuration, you need to enable the service in your configuration file, typically located at /etc/config.scm
. You can refer to the Guix documentation for detailed instructions on how to properly configure and manage services.
Step one: Open config file
Step 2: Enable nix service
(use-modules (gnu))
(operating-system
...
(services
(cons* (service
(nix-service)
(nix-configuration
(nix-channel "https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-23.11"))
)
...)))
Save the file and reconfigure:
sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
After reconfiguration, verify that the Nix service is running correctly by checking the service status:
systemctl status nix-daemon
Additional Notes:
-
Ensure you are using the latest stable version of Guix to avoid compatibility issues.
-
If you encounter any problems, consult the Guix documentation for troubleshooting tips.
-
The Nix service allows you to use Nix packages alongside Guix, providing flexibility in package management.
Hope this helps!
No I didn't do anything in my config. You can though and it seems like a better less kludgy way to do it, I haven't done that yet. If I ever figure it out I'll let you know.
uhh, no, I'd love that actually. whatever they hate the most, do it please. if they complain after, double it and repeat until morale improves.
Yeah because if they hate it, it's probably benefical for us!
People really need to stop giving a fuck about what "businesses" think about political candidates, and anything in general.
I wonder which is saltier, oil companies or the batteries.
to install nix succesfully on my laptop I had to do the following steps:
guix install nix
nix-channel --list
if nixpkgs is not in channel then add
nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
sudo nix-channel --update --verbose
now change the group and ower of /nix
cd /nix/
sudo chown -R {your user name} ./var
sudo chown -R {your user name} ./store
sudo chgrp -R users ./var
sudo chgrp -R users ./store
now update the channels
nix-channel --update --verbose

then install say firefox
nix-env -iA nixpkgs.firefox
Let me check my notes ths weekend and get back to you.
I use nix for any packages I can't get from guix repos. So that's an option too.
I've been using linux as my only OS since 2019 and like you came to the conclusion that it's come a long way and is totally a viable option instead of windows.
Linux is great at running on old HW. I have a desktop I built in 2009 that runs linux.
I also really like the tagging feature.
