Just rollback to previous generation and EVERYTHING will work as before. Once you make it to your liking, it will work forever\*, even if you move to a new laptop/workstation. +# Discussion + +## Notes + +- Thank you. Super cool that you started guix home. (: + +## Questions and answers + +- Q: Do you use this to have multiple configs running side by side for + live comparison? + - A: Yes, two separate configs. (more capture TBD) +- Q: Are you using Guix System, or Guix on top of another distro? If + System, any tips? I tried Guix System, but found getting started + was very difficult due to lacking WiFi firmware and incomplete + documentation. + - A: Yes he uses Guix system and package manager. RE: WiFi: First + option is to buy a wifi adaptor that doesn\'t require + proprietary firmware. +- Q: One of the issues I\'ve had managing Emacs packages with Guix is + a conflict between the Guix package ethos (read-only) and the Emacs + package ethos (hackable in real-time). Any suggestions to resolve + this? + - A: There is an interactive/live workflow for editing emacs + configuration, which kinda similiar to usual, but you persist + your changes from time to time and rebuild the configuration to + apply those persisted changes for new emacs instances. +- Q: What is next for rde? + - A: Short term plan is to prepare more documentation, getting + started guide, live CD to explore system. Also would like to + find maintainers to help. +- Q: Do you use emacs without this? If so, for what purposes, and how + does it feel compared to rde? + - A: No, I don\'t use emacs outside of RDE. There\'s a way to add + mostly anything in your emacs config into RDE.But doesn\'t use + it because it isn\'t reproducible.

Have you found that\'s burdensome vs. package.el or other + in-Emacs package management approaches? + - A: Packaging elisp for guix isn\'t hard at all, in most cases + it\'s really easy. Sending patches is a little more involved, + but also not rocket science :) +- Q: Do your reckon RDE is currently opinionated? Or is it a one size + fits all framework? + - A: It\'s vanilla-flavored and kinda opinionated at the same + time, but everyone free to use whatever parts/features fits + them, also they free to implement or use implemented by others + features, which can fit better for them than original rde\'s + features. +- Q: How to get into RDE? Is there already documentation/getting + started guide? + - There is an example configuration and link to slightly sparse + manual at <https://git.sr.ht/~abcdw/rde>, you can ask question + \#tropin at libera.chat. +- Q: Can you mix RDE with custom emacs init file? + - Yes, you can, but it will add irreproducibility to your setup. + [[!inline pages="internal(2022/info/rde-after)" raw="yes"]] |
