    We need more GUIX here. Not using the distro but really interested in knowing more about it. Hype seems to be solely focused on NixOS lately.

          Guile and Guix is way better documented than Nix. The language have more features, so you don’t have to use a hack to load packages, can actually know what is accepted in a function instead of blindly copying what others do, and it comes with a formatter.

        I think the language is harder but more powerful than Nix’s.
        Imo a better manual and examples would help a lot.
        I’d say one of the biggest issues is the one with proprietary drivers - you can’t really find examples and guides on how to get drivers working because it’s kept hush-hush, and to install them yourself requires knowledge on how to set things up, knowledge which beginner users don’t have ofc.
        I’m a big fan of Guix and Guile but atm I couldn’t switch over due to this.

        Building a kernel

        Can’t you just use the standard Linux kernel? You can just tell GUIX to use the standardized kernel in its config file

        Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !guix@lemmy.ml
