Well... GUI automation is not automation. It can't be. Automation must be automateable, code is, since you can save in a text file, versioned etc. GUIs can't. Reproducing them means doing countless step every time, hard to documen

My main remark is: please do consider DESKTOP more than HPC etc, Guix System have a great potential to surpass NixOS for good but can't until the desktop will be the main driver, because before working on a system we enjoy it personall
