+## 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. Can break between machines.
+- Q:Are there any plans to push things from rde to guix\'s main
+ channel?
+ - A: Would like to push some things upstream but can\'t always fit
+ patches 
+- Q: How difficult is it to add support for new Emacs packages to
+ Guix?  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.
