I’ve seen a lot of users run into problems like that. The usual suspect is one of the XDG_* variables. There may also be problems with caches that are loaded by programs from Guix *and* the system, and with standard locations that can affect the behavior of applications. One problem manifests itself as a crash when displaying a file dialog, for example. These are not unavoidable, but it’s certainly surprising and annoying when it happens. Of course, Guix is still a very helpful tool, no matter what distro you happen to use underneath. -- Ricardo
