Both of them allow configuration. The ‘(*-service)’ calls ‘(service *-service-type)’. For example, ‘(gdm-service)’ from [1] does this. Last developed services provides only ‘(service *-service-type)’. > I'm also a bit on a loss on what I actually need regarding networking > services. During installation, "ifconfig enp5s2 up; dhclient -v > enp5s2" was sufficient.

No ‘guix pull’ recommended before ‘guix init’ in the manual. ‘guix init’ was tested much more on a Guix release version (without ‘pull’). I recommend to start with an example template like [2] or with a smallest configuration as possible. - [1] https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/services/xorg.scm?h=master#n623 - [2] https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl Oleg.
