   In today's #SystemCrafters video, I'll show you how to get started with Guix Home by putting together a small "home-environment" configuration that customizes Bash and integrates your existing config files.

   I'll also show you how to test your new config before applying it and how to roll back changes when things go horribly wrong!

     Do you know if it is possible and convenient to use guix home to manage home config of non-guix systems?

     @alxlg it is certainly possible, but you'll have to make sure you replicate the shell configuration that was originally provided by the distro to ensure you don't break essential environment variables, can make your desktop environment unbootable

     @daviwil great intro, thank you. And very timely, as I was about to set up an mcron home service to automate my backups.
