I mean if you don't want to fiddle with it I really don't get why you would choose Guix to test drive this way of managing your packages. It's the way less mature and less supported Nix.
- goosedragons 4y agoI did try Nix briefly. It was even more confusing to configure for use with R IMO.
- rekado 4y agoNot when it comes to R. I'm terribly biased, but R packaging in Guix is --- in my opinion --- very high quality, purely from source (including bundled minified JavaScript), and the tooling is great too. Unlike R in Nix, Guix does not just automatically wrap R packages, which would lead to build and runtime errors. I would not use R from Nix.
