can you teach me how to make a config file that only has lxqt? I tried the thing below replacing XFCE with LXQT and failed loads, I’m tired of wasting gigs and hours trying to make it work when I’m sleepy.

This is just to run in a VM in Virtual Machine Manager
Meanwhile as a guix+nix user i can just build it against that old library version because nothing can conflict with each other anyway
Yea but wheres the fun in that
As a Gentoo user, I can relate ;-)
You use both Guix and Nix on the same system?
Well i use guix as a full OS but i still have nix installed as well for some packages that aren’t in guix

What error are you getting? Does it reconfigure succesfully?
