One of the things we can do to provide a better first-time experience on a foreign distro is to automatically do some of the things that make Guix readily usable and convenient, even for someone who skips the =E2=80=9CApplication Setup=E2=80=9D section of the manual. Things that com= e to mind: 1. Installing Bash and Zsh completion files globally (actually making them a symlink to /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/etc/=E2=80=A6). There seems to be +/- a cross-distro conventional directory to collect those, for example /etc/bash_completion.d, no? The script could create that symlink, perhaps asking the user to confirm. 2. Adding the following lines to /etc/profile (taken from Guix System): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- # Arrange so that ~/.config/guix/current comes first. for profile in "$HOME/.guix-profile" "$HOME/.config/guix/current" do if [ -f "$profile/etc/profile" ] then # Load the user profile's settings. GUIX_PROFILE=3D"$profile" ; \ . "$profile/etc/profile" else # At least define this one so that basic things just work # when the user installs their first package. export PATH=3D"$profile/bin:$PATH" fi done --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The user should be explicitly asked whether they want this change to be made. 3. It could check =E2=80=9Cps aux | grep nscd=E2=80=9D and install nscd u= sing the host distro package manager if needed, or at least suggest doing it. Any takers? :-) Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
