My main laptop is dead, so I’m on a potato laptop with a 6th gen Intel i3 processor and 4GB of RAM. I have IceCat installed, but I really don’t like the defaults it provides.

Maybe I am in the wrong here, but from the Arkenfox page, I’ve read that having way too many extension is bad - there’s an unbelievable amount of these plugins. IceCat being on the older ESR version is a big no when it comes to security. Last but not the least, I want to create a separate, non-secure profile to use normal pages, but IceCat has hard-coded blocks on several websites.

And that is exactly why I’m looking to move to LibreWolf. But the issue is that there is no pre-built binaries available for my distro. I’ve waited the entire day for this browser, and I’m tired of having to come back to a frozen desktop, or build fails while waking from sleep.

I’m trying the build once again, and I just wanted to know how long it takes to build, so that I can leave it uninterrupted.

    I know that AppImages can run on NixOS after configuring them, but I am not sure if it is a thing in Guix. So far, I haven’t found anything about it.
