I recently learned about guix and would like to use it in my void linux build, but as I understand guix will be as a separate package manager. I intend to use it as an additional package manager (so I can set up environments for different programming languages and switch between them conveniently), but guix will constantly pull systemd, but I don’t have it on my system and don’t want it to be there How can I use elogind support for all compatible packages when installing programs through guix?

    Because Guix has better configuration syntax, it will not function properly without systemd, as I understand it.

      This is not true. In fact, Guix doesn’t use systemd at all. When managing an operating system installation Guix uses its own init system called the Shepherd.

      Elogind is a project extracted from systemd originally for use in Guix systems.
