I'm interested in setting up an environment of apps, libraries and utilities for use - independently and in conjunction - by a non-root user on a GNU/Linux system. Can I use GUIX's "home" mechanism for doing that, even though the OS distribution is not GUIX? Similarly to how Nix' home-manager is used?

  • ... and does that do what I'd like it to? i.e. allow installing and un-installing apps, libs etc. under the user's home directory? – einpoklum Aug 23 '23 at 15:29
  • Looks like it. `apt show` provides the description which says: "Guix supports transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management, and more." – Stewart Aug 23 '23 at 17:07
