Somewhere in you $PATH… startx witch:
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
#!/bin/sh
DIR=$HOME/.guix-profile
# Automatically determine an unused $DISPLAY
d=0
while true ; do
[ -e "/tmp/.X$d-lock" -o -S "/tmp/.X11-unix/X$d" ] || break
d=$(($d + 1))
done
defaultdisplay=":$d"
unset d
# Get current tty
tty_num=$(tty | grep -oE '[0-9]+$')
vtarg="vt$tty_num -keeptty"
$DIR/bin/xinit -- $DIR/bin/Xorg $defaultdisplay $vtarg \
-configdir $DIR/share/X11/xorg.conf.d \
-modulepath $DIR/lib/xorg/modules
#+END_SRC
In your guix user profile manifest:
