Dear community: I have noticed Guix System Distribution (I like to abreviate it GSD) is great for having a predictable, hackable system, which is entirely auditable. I like this. It is like making your own ... anything (car, house, clothes,etc). It gives you great power and endless possibilities of creativity, sharing and learning.
When I think of installing GSD on user machines that I will never see again (as at an installfest), I feel certain unease. It is so because I have had to change my desktop.scm system configuration file every time I want to update my whole operating system. That is a task that no end user will ever be able to do. Is there a way that when I run 'sudo guix system reconfigure desktop.scm', the user (system admin for his machine) can take the current config and make a new config file (desktop1.scm) with the new synthax? It is, of course, impossible without a translation from what was intended in desktop.scm to what is the current situation when creating desktop1.scm. Thank you for your responses. -- Saluton.
