Trying out Guix for the first time! Waiting for packages to download.
I’m a long time Arch user. Any tips?!
I’ve heard there aren’t as many packages for Guix as other distros, but I was thinking Flatpak and distrobox will help bridge the gap for me.
Btw, here’s how you configure HiDPI for GNOME. Unfortunately, my laptop has a hydeepeeay display, so it’s not fully compatible with Linux. (It’s 3840x2160, so at least 2x scaling is possible, hypothetically.)
Commands from the Arch Wiki, but also adds cursor scaling:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "[{'Gdk/WindowScalingFactor', <2>}, {'Gtk/CursorThemeSize', <48>}]" $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2
The default GNOME configuration is some how missing that. I didn’t have to do that in Arch, but I do in Guix. IDK. Anyway, if you don’t run those commands certain apps will be tiny, including a tiny mouse cursor.
