I have seen in the /etc/profile file that it suggest you to do something like source $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile. This causes problems on systems where the startup file is executed by a posix /bin/sh, as this is bash specific. Any reason not to use . $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/sh instead in that hint? (I noticed this on debian, .xsessionrc is using /bin/sh to interpret this when starting up the x session, and that defaults to dash on debian and derivatives.) > Do you think we need something in addition to this? > > I was under the impression that Guix does better than the alternatives > when it comes to environment variable settings, but of course, I’m > biased. ;-) > > Thank you, > Ludo’. > Best regards, g_bor
