I still don’t understand why I should need GPU acceleration for my fucking TEXT EDITOR

If you want to try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed without all these weird defaults: Try Gecko Linux.

Yes, that’s true. You lose reproducibility by using distrobox. But so far I did not need distrobox on my Guix laptop, the nonguix repo was enough. It was just a suggestion for somebody caring more about availability of packages than reproducibility to use Guix as the stable base and distrobox on top.

So far I had not much time, but I tried and failed with different errors when trying to pull an image regarding policy.json. do you use docker or podman?

Maybe use btrfs, which has reduplication and compression capabilities. I never tried it in Guix but it's like magic.

This looks like a problem with the image. But I can try as soon as I am back home.

That's what I mean with distrobox. You decide to run distribution A. Later you realize a package(program) is not available in A but in distribution B. So you run distrobox and have B on top of A. And access to all the packages.

Whenever somebody recommends NixOS, I just want to spam the comments with Guix. I prefer configs I can understand, and I think lisp makes that easier. Other than syntax, the only thing I see is people complaining about the free-oftware-only. But the recently hyped distrobox solves that (together with the nonguix repo). Yet nobody recommends guix in all these "immutable" distro threads.

In my opinion Guix is the best mix of:

• Arch (rolling release),

• NixOS ("immutable", atomic updates , rollback, reproducible, declarative configs)

• Gentoo (source code based, write your own package definitions for any source code you find),

with some lispy syntax.
