       I managed to find an easy solution to have reproducible environment using #Guix time-machine while still coding at the comfort of my own IDE.I wrote a very short blog post about how to set it up in about 5 minutes along with example codes for R and etc.:https://mehrad.ai/posts/20251106-reproducible-r-enviroment-using-guix/This can be used for virtually any programming language and software stack.#ReproducibleResearch #BlogPost #RStats

       @Mehrad a bit too afraid of switching from ubuntu "confy" and my laptop is too old to run some VM and test (yes 4GB of ram is a lot for me). Hopefully soon I will be able to get a "new" one and then I will gic into Guix! Thanks for documenting your experience! (will save me a lot if troubles)

       @defuneste This article is to have Guix as external package manager on your own distro. You don't need to switch away from Ubuntu at all. All you need is to install Guix (explained in the article how to), and direnv. and if you didn't like the experience, just uninstall Guix, direnv, and remove the /gnu/store and your computer is back to what it was. This process does not change anything in your OS.I myself use Arch and have Guix on top of it. 🤓
