I'm not sure it will be comfortable for most of Guix users. Upstream
documentation doesn't mention ‘ln -s …’ step and ‘source …’ is Guix
system relative. I guess we could automate those steps, but I have no
idea how to implement this at the moment.
Maybe a link to upstream documentation and a link to this bug report?
Currently manual steps are required to configure Nix for a user,
which you could find on @url{https://issues.guix.info/issue/35648,
35648}. Also *note @url{https://nixos.org/nix/manual/, Nix Package
Manager Guide} for more information about the installation process.
Regards,
Oleg.
