alright, Any Forums, I'm seriously considering switching to this distro
I've put together a nice comfy config in a VM so I think I'm ready for a desktop install
should I do it? is guix worth it?

close but not quite. I'd rather brute force openrc onto nixos

Wait, they still don't even have KDE?
MY FUCKING SIDES
They don't have Brave in any of the repos either, main or third-party.
And on top of that you have to use one of the most unreadable languages either and don't have the luxury of getting around the configuration aspect with a GUI program like what Nix is making.
geez, Guix really is trash, isn't it? I definitely don't want it to be, since the idea of a modern, updated distro straight from GNU themselves with their own init system and package manager is great, but it's definitely a pain in the ass to use.

Good morning sir. I also use Brave - A Browser That Respects Your Privacy™
Please redeem the BAT token sir.
Kevin Torres
The distro is fine, yeah. Though it will take you some time to get it to work nicely. You might want to look into running foreign guix on your current distro and using guix home.
No one yet could get KDE to work on guix.
>they don't have brave
This is a good thing.
One cool trick in guix is that you can install ungoogled-chromium + ublock origin (i think the package is called chromium-ublock-origin? maybe) and have the ideal browser setup right out of the box
Ryder Anderson
why would I use guix over parabola?
Parker Powell
Nixbros... not like this...
Jayden Gomez
Do I have to config shit for hours just to get a single program to install
Grayson Moore
Lisp.
Carson Lee
Do they make it look like a uterus on purpose or what?
Hudson Diaz
It's a pretty quick setup user

>No one yet could get KDE to work on guix.
why is it so hard? legit what's the problem it's just software running on the same kernel other distros don't have any problem with it
Cooper Hernandez
Actually I think that user is wrong, I think it's something to do with qt licensing, and because Guix is a libre distro they don't want to let KDE in
Alexander Gutierrez
In what year do they live, qt definitely is FOSS
GNUtards can't even get a decent DE working kek
Asher Bailey
i doubt brave is ever going into the gnu channel due to crypto but ungoogled chromium is officially supported
kde is a real shame, hopefully they figure it out some day
Easton Cruz
Beacuse KDE is a mess. It's incredibly fragile and has tons of little bugs that pop up on these unusual systems.
They have decent UI but the quality of it is questionable.
Retard
There's a KDE branch on the main guix repo, it's just impossible to get it to run.
Henry Reed
eh if there are no license problems it has to be incompetence other distros have no problem with it
