I love guix but the best part is when you do 'guix home reconfigure' and it starts building libreoffice from source.

@dthompson I have often thought it'd be useful to have a "--never-build" flag or something.

Sometimes I don't mind, but more often than not, I ^c and come back when the substitutes are around.

@katco yeah same. it's tough to implement that feature, though, because a lot of little things get built from source which are okay and normal. need some way of distinguishing what's okay and what's not.
