Well I have to tell you I am not too familiar with either Debian or Guixđ
So
with that disclaimer:
- If I remember correctly, Guix in Debian just doesn't work straight away after
apt-get install, meaning enabling of certain Guix services also required?
- He needs to have everything that Guix needs "virtualized", including the
folder /gnu straight under root, (under some /home/xyzuser/blah/ directory I
presume). He does not care about Guix-as-container - he needs
Guix-to-be-contained.
Again, I don't know much, Im' just a casual Guix OS user (and I love it đ) but
does it make sense?
