Anyone running guix system with the nonguix channel and linux kernel? I've been using guix in a foreign distro (fedora) but I don't think it's working out, I'm stuck in limbo - at some point you can no longer remove Fedora packages (to replace them with guix equivalents) without breaking the system and I don't think I'm ready to switch to linux-libre yet.

I did for about one week, and then switched to Guix foreign on Garuda Linux (Arch) so I could do ClojureDart development. (I almost got Flutter working on Guix system, but I was missing something.) As far as non-guix goes, David Wilson's setup has a nice example: https://github.com/daviwil/dotfiles/tree/guix-home He also has a guide: https://systemcrafters.net/craft-your-system-with-guix/full-system-install/ Another option is Andrew Tropin's RDE (Reproducible Developer Environment) https://trop.in/rde/ which IIRC uses non-guix by default. https://trop.in/rde/manual#Getting-Started

Thanks for the links, I'll check them out 🙂

Certainly! I'm a pretty big fan of RDE, I'm still using that even though I'm no longer on Guix system.

Indeed... I'm not sure I could get used to Nyxt but other than that RDE looks neat and I value its principles! 🙂

I also used it on a secondary laptop, but had to give it away
