#IntelArc asettaa todella ankaria rajoituksia sille, mitä vapaata järjestelmää kokeilukoneelle kannattaa yrittää. Kaikki #BSD:t #FreeBSD:tä myöten ovat joko kieltäytyneet pääsemästä graafiseen tilaan tai buutanneet itsensä yrittäessään; Linuxeistakin #GuixSystem'issä oli näytönpiirto-ongelmia ja lopulta #Kwin lakkasi käynnistymästä (eli työpöydälle pääsi mutta ikkunoilla ei ollut reunoja ja ne olivat vain kiinteä alue näytön vasemmassa yläkulmassa). #linux #floss #atkjuttuja

Vapaa #kokeilukone ja #vapaaherra'na päiviään viettävä (ja hammashuolensa hetkeksi taka-alalle painava) herrasmies… mitäs sitä tekisi? No #Arch voisi väistyä, kokeiluun vaikkapa #GuixSystem tai #Gentoo. Jälkimmäistä en ole koskaan vielä jaksanut asentaa, tahtoo puuduttaa ajatuskin siitä, että koko ajan pitää olla toinen kone vierellä näyttämässä asennusohjeita. #NixOS tuli jo kokeiltua, joten olisiko Guixin vuoro? #atkjuttuja #linux #bsd #floss

GNU Guix 1.5 Released with KDE Plasma 6.5, GNU Linux-Libre 6.17 Kernel

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://9to5linux.com/gnu-guix-1-5-released-with-kde-plasma-6-5-gnu-linux-libre-6-17-kernel

GNU Guix 1.5 arrives after three long years, and it was worth the wait

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://nerds.xyz/2026/01/gnu-guix-1-5-linux/

I'm hesitating. I want to install #guix #GuixSystem (I strongly prefer Guix to NixOS) but also #nutyx Debian :debian: and Void :void_linux:
The main purpose of my system is to write (novel, note taking/zettlekasten, blog posts...), with Niri, waybar, wofi, using Ekphos in Wezterm.
I don't want to can't spend too much time configuring. Arch :archlinux: and CachyOS :cachyos: or EndeavourOS :endeavouros: would probably be the simplest solution1.
I need the system to be simple, and no risks to break at every update.

1: Fedora is not in the distros I'm considering since they've made pro AI choices.

I'm lurking #guix #GuixSystem 🫣

In 2026, I want to change my OS. I'm hesitating between

• Arch :archlinux:
• Devuan
• Gentoo :gentoo:
• Guix and
• Void
  

Things to consider:

• I've already installed and used Arch some years ago; I'm considering Artix, excluding the s6 init (I'm not prepared for this one);
• gentoo and Guix are probably the most complex distros1
• Void is certainly the most comfortable choice.
• It's to install in real hardware: Intel i5-7400 3ghz, ssd 1to, 32gb ram, nvidia geforce 1060 3gb. Yes, I want to play light videogames sometimes :steam: Main purpose would be to learn Linux, Web, writing MarkDown and Org, zettlekasten organisation, etc...

1: complex ≠ complicated

:linux: You're more #openrc #sysvinit #runit #s6 #dinit #shepard #shepardinit and why do you prefer it instead another one? Or maybe one not listed here?

Want to try switching from Fedora Workstation to Guix System on a secondary laptop.

Do someone have already done it ? Do you have any tips ? Which packages should I install to have a user experience similar to a fresh install of Fedora with Gnome ?

#GuixSystem

Update:

• #GuixSystem is booting! First install, I chose use the entire disk with separate /home partition. It didn't work. For the 2nd install, I did the same but I removed the partitions automatically created and recreated them by myself. It's a success as the system boots, but I chose the exwm to stay coherent and the popup window tops me that there is no config file press C-x C-f enter to access it. Obviously nothing happened when I did it.
• #bonfire is definitely for me, and I don't understand why it's not more popular
• I've discovered new apps on #yunohost that I need to test.All of this is exciting!

Update:

• no problem for BonFire to display custom emojis #bonfire
• despite 5 attempts, mastodon with glitch-soc didn't want to be installed. Other tentatives later today :mastodon:
• #GuixSystem still doesn't boot so I'll try this: rescue cd, make new partitions, reinstall Guix. If no succeed, reinstall Guix from scratch.

Okay, it's been testing day, even if not as much as I wanted to. ¦
#GuixSystem doesn't boot, I search a while and found a nomodset solution. Didn't work. Let's see that tomorrow. ¦
I found a new way to install Agate for the #geminiprotocol so I'll try it tomorrow too. I also have some stuff to try/correct for #gophernicus
I spent most of the afternoon trying #bonfire BonFire, custom favicons/emojis are not displayed so I'll need to check that, I tried :iceshrimp: #iceshrimp too and wanted to install #SharKey but it didn't load. Still have to try :mastodon: mastodon with glitch-soc. ¦
What an afternoon :woeisme: ¦
See you tomorrow :ablobglitch: ¦
))

I've installed #GuixSystem this morning and I've discovered #emacs #exwm
So I've installed it.

Et je commence à faire des testes avec Guix System. J'ai dans l'idée de l'utiliser à terme sur un serveur et sur mon ordinateur personnel.

J'aime beaucoup l'idée d'avoir un système transactionnel dont la configuration tient en un seul fichier. De pouvoir appliquer des modifications sans état intermédiaire.

Et j'aime aussi beaucoup Shepherd, le gestionnaire d'init. Minimaliste, écrit en Scheme. La déclaration des services reste simple et le Scheme permet plus de flexibilité qu'un fichier de configuration.

Je suis pas un hater de Systemd, mais j'aime bien voir ce qui se fait d'autre et Shepherd à l'aire bien.
