Hi Chris!
I ran the commands above and re-installed the whole thing for the 1.0 release (
congrats btw! :-) )
I bumped into two other things :
Problem: `/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket': No such file or directory
Solution: sudo systemctl restart guix-daemon.service
Problem: something about unknown origin after fresh install and `guix
describe`.
Solution: pulled once and it disappeared
Apparently, it works just fine now. I'm slowly adding whatever package I need
and using `guix environment`
for development. Now the question is: how does Guix play with other package
managers ?
Let's say that you need to use racket packages or something else... what does
it cost to the developer
to use exclusively Guix? Is it even possible at all?
