Ironically thanks in no small part to Facebook releasing Llama and kind of salting the earth for similar companies trying to create proprietary equivalents.
Nowadays you either have gigantic LLMs with hundreds of billions of parameters like Claude and ChatGPT or you have open Models that are sub-200B.
Good luck! Feel free to DM me I’d you have any questions!
You can start a different TTY than the install automatically starts. Guix has a ‘guix system init‘ command you can point to a system config and mounted filesystem, much like arch’s system init.
If you use the curses-based installer it auto-generates a system config file for you.
Note that the base configuration is entirely libre kernel so some drivers may not work (like wifi)
In order to get these working out of the box you have to make a boot iso with guix with a non-libre kernel.
The system crafters channel has a guide that details using nonguix (a non-libre kernel channel) in the installation out of the box: https://systemcrafters.net/craft-your-system-with-guix/full-system-install/
Doing a reconfigure right after a pull and half the packages don’t have substitutes yet 😭

Our application catalog is much smaller than many other distros simply because we don’t have the userbase large enough to surface the volunteers necessary to support it. So you will have to learn to write your own packages eventually
That said, if you know your way around functional languages (in this case, scheme), it’s probably the easiest time I’ve ever had writing a package. Everything that goes into the script is known at the time the script is written, so weird extrinsic problems don’t really occur after you’ve written the package.
Some stuff that you and the guix maintainers may not have the time to support will also get updated more slowly.
Luckily flatpak exists, and is a godsend for the new wave of read-only (functional/ostree-based) OSs.
Biggest appeal for me was having all my configuration in one place (and documented) so if I forget I did something in 6 months, it’s always staring at me in my home or system config file. You can accomplish the same thing by being diligent with say, script files, but it’s drop-dead easy to just maintain a system and home descriptor file and keep editing that.
The problem is that the Linux kernel is monolithic so introducing rust into it does have certain repercussions about downstream compatibility between modules.
Right now the rust code in the kernel uses c bindings for some things and there’s a not-insignificant portion of C developers who both refuse to use rust and refuse to take responsibility if the code they write breaks something in the rust bindings.
If it was pure C there would be no excuse as the standard for Linux development is that you don’t break downstream, but the current zeitgeist is that Rust being a different language means that the current C developers have no responsibility if their code refactoring now breaks the rust code.
It’s a frankly ridiculous stance to take, considering the long history of Linux being very strict on not breaking downstream code.
Well part of what it does is grab your actual desktop background to use, and there’s a couple different ways to do that on Linux afaik
Also I guess the file dialogs would open only to the wine prefix? My experience with wine applications and dialogs is mostly through bottles, so I’m not sure of the sandboxing…
I think it does that for some parts, but it does close the game out and open up folders for some spooks
It’s a game that messed with the windows on your desktop and opens file dialogs and stuff (as part of the spooks)
It makes me wonder how it works on the Linux side

How the fuck is that gonna work
You should play voices of the void then. Game is chock full of random spooks with lots of very quiet and relaxing downtime, so they hit pretty hard when they happen.
I think I remember a site like that existing in the 2010s, where you had to apply to join and it only let in equal numbers of genders.
It was the 2010s so the waiting list for dudes joining was way longer than the one for women. It was like trying to get in a dance club.
Isn’t that the carrier they were using as a theme park
For the usability of the clock, likely nothing.
I did mention In another comment that there are a number of advantages a round clockface provides to the creation of the clock, however.
Yea that’s kind of what I was thinking when I said eventually handwriting will go the same way.
If people never encounter it and do all their writing on keyboards, it’ll eventually be a useless skill as well.
From a practicality standpoint, a round clockface is easier to create a mechanical drive system for.
You can create a digital mechanical face (see: Flipboard style numerical displays) but they usually require more gears and are more susceptible to wear and tear than the gears of a round clock face.
The simplest designs for mechanical digital displays actually just take 24 hour and 60 minute/second circular displays and hide the other numerals as the clock face spins around. Technically this I suppose counts as both analog and digital?
Example:
As for electronic displays? Nah not much of a reason to use a round display unless again, you have an electric-mechanical drive and want to save on gears and parts.
It floors me just how many people in this thread feel like analog clock reading is a useless/outdated skill.
But I’m of the opinion that there’s no such thing as a truly outdated and useless skill, so I’m not sure I have the capability to empathize with those people…
How so?
I genuinely don’t understand the clock-face-reading-is-a-useless-skill opinion so both seem equally important to me.
There’s nothing stopping an analog clock face from representing 24h time:
