Hello Guix!
Shouldn’t we replace Wicd with NetworkManager in ‘%desktop-services’?
I’ve given it a try on a GuixSD GNOME installation and it appears to
work well, and it’s obviously well-integrated with GNOME, whereas Wicd
is a bit hidden (one has to know what to look for) and “foreign.”
Thoughts?
Now, as someone who doesn’t use GNOME, I wonder if NM would work well
for me. Last time I tried it’s CLI was too low-level to be usable, and
I don’t remember seeing a curses interface. Suggestions?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
