Just been trying out using guix as a package manager on Debian and have a question: I've been able to install and run GIMP using Guix but it isn't picking up my plugins. Why is this, and what would I need to do to make them work?

I've never used gimp so i don't know much about it, but how did you install the plugins? Can gimp read plugins from your home directory? If not it's possible that plugins would also have to be packaged in guix because of some fhs shenanigans.

    Yes, gimp can (ordinarily) read plugins from the home directory. It seems that the guix install of GIMP is isolated somehow. I've installed a plugin using guix and that isn't accessible either though, despite both it and GIMP being installed as guix packages.
