    I need to start configuring guix home but I'm afraid I will do it wrong :(

      @ekaitz_zarraga isn't that the best way to learn how to do it right?

      NOTE: I've never used guix so I really don't have a know

      @ekaitz_zarraga It’s pretty incremental: you start with what ‘guix home import’ gives you and then you can gradually migrate your config from “old-style dot files” to Home services.

      @daviwil made excellent (as always!) talks and tutorials, such as the one at FOSDEM:

      @ekaitz_zarraga @civodul also not very easy to totally break your home with it, Guix Home keeps backups of all the files that it overwrites, plus generations. Pretty safe!

      @daviwil @civodul okay you are making me try... Let's give a go to the guix home import and see what it does!
      Currently I have a stow config and it's reliable... and the good thing is I can use it in other non-guix machines but I don't really use any other machine ever so why bother

      @civodul @daviwil Ok I'm giving this a go. It's calculating things and all that... it doesn't bother you the fact that everything is calculated and probably some packages are going to be installed if you just change an alias?

      @ekaitz_zarraga @daviwil @civodul you can also try rde, which provides ready to use home configuration.

      @w96k @daviwil @civodul i know it but I don't want to add too many stuff here because I always have problems to manage it...
      The aliases I just imported are failing so imagine :(

      @w96k @daviwil @civodul Oh boy! there's an issue with the quotations in the aliases.
      It imported some quotes literally so it's breaking the generated aliases:

      alias X='balbasdfas "asfsl" asdf'

      is imported as:

      ("X" . "balbasdfas \"asfsl\" asdf")

      And this is certainly wrong!

      @ekaitz_zarraga @thrrgilag I use rde alongside another distribution. It runs isolated on second tty, so I can switch to my semi-proprietary work stuff on tty1 and then switch to libre environment on tty2.

      Also what is great, I can run software installed using apt in environment managed by guix, so I gain access to mainstream work software that way without losing features that guix provides.

      Potentially I think it can affect the system, but for my case everything went smoothly.

      @civodul @daviwil @w96k It is wrong because it dumps the result as:

      alias X="balbasdfas "asfsl" asdf"

      which is a malformed line.
      If it has single quotes the quoting has to be adjusted for later. Just rewriting double quotes to \" is a good guess, taking in account we are going to dump the strings as double quoted ones later.

      @ekaitz_zarraga Dunno, why is it wrong?

      In some cases you may want to use ‘literal-string’, but I’m not sure ‘guix home import’ can really guess:

      @civodul One of the things I don't really like developing Guix internals is I don't really know how to test stuff properly yet...
