Was trying to install guix on top of fedora silverblue. It’s kinda working, but not exactly stable…

    Some updates after sleeping on it and trying some morning debugging:

    • It’s actually either service being enabled that prevents login
    • It’s a gnome-shell issue. Logging into a tty is fine, and shows that it’s gnome-shell crashing when trying to log-in normally

    Maybe it’s time to go back to debian…

      Maybe it’s time to join us in NixOS land. When you have the immutability on top of the whole OS and the language controlling it, things tend to work a bit better.

      I’m Sorry we don’t have the “))))))”. Just a weird ass language.

      I had this with a sunshine service being added as a user service in bazzite. I created a clean new user and it booted, confirming it was user based. Took a bunch of binary searching to work out what the issue was.

      I’ve since done my own autostart setup for sunshine and it’s been fine ever since.

      Crappy UX!

        Yeah, thinking I might have to do something similar to start the services after login. Unfortunately they need to run as root, so it’ll be tricky to avoid having a second password prompt every time I login

          Ouch, yeah that’s frustrating. I’m considering doing my own image (prei stall my own apps) which will help with issues like this and allow consistent apps across machines.

          Feels like a sledgehammer for a nail though
