Why not just use NixOS?
Why not just kill yourself? The greatest freedom is death.
>>51397667
It's good if you want free software distribution and package manager with lisp.
>>51397694
Who would want that though?
>>51397467
Not yet, but I really want to try it out.
Still in alpha stage, but looks promising. Not too sure how the package manager stacks up to others like APT, YUM, pacman or openrc though
what is it? a kernel? a distro?
>>51397768
Package manager and/or distro. It's a GNU version of Nix/NixOS.

The Guix System Distribution (GuixSD) and the GNU Guix package manager are free software projects developed by volunteers around the world under the umbrella of the GNU Project. This is the official web site for both projects.
GuixSD is a GNU/Linux distribution committed to respecting and enhancing the freedom of its users. As such, it adheres to the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines.
GNU Guix provides state-of-the-art package management features such as transactional upgrades and roll-backs, reproducible build environments, unprivileged package management, and per-user profiles. It uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix package manager, but packages are defined as native Guile modules, using extensions to the Scheme language—which makes it nicely hackable.
GuixSD takes that a step further by supporting stateless, reproducible operating system configurations. This time the whole system is hackable in Scheme, from the initial RAM disk to the initialization system, and to the system services.

It's a GNU Distro made to showcase a new package manager.
Me. I am using it ontop of my current distro to download some newer version of GNU packages. There is some neat features that I need to try though like creating virtual machines and containers.
Linux doesn't need a new package manager, linux needs a replacement for systemd that doesn't get coupled with kitchen sink.

Yes it does.

Maybe in a decade, right now it's buggy and primitive as compared to Portage.
Hell, I'd prefer to use sbt (actually Java / Scala specific build & deployment tool - flexible but clearly not made for sysadmin) to manage my OS at this point.
>>51397467
It just doesn't have enough packages for me as of yet.
>>51398277
writing your own packages are pretty simple.
>>51398357
Having to package everything on my own defeats the purpose.

>openrc
Gentoo's package manager is Portage. OpenRC is the init system.
>>51398396
yeah, my bad there.

OpenRC.

Compile systemd without the extras you don't need, or package it without the extras you don't need.
Problem solved.
>>51397667
Nix has systemd, GuixSD has dmd (written in guile scheme).
Nix has the nix package/service language, GuixSD just uses guile.
Nix has unfree packages and binary blobs, GuixSD doesn't.
GuixSD shares a lot of code with Nix in the guix-daemon that manages the package store.
>>51397791
And a package manager made to showcase a programming language, which was created to showcase GNU's extensibility and we're full circle.
>>51397768
>what is it? a kernel? a distro?
Guix is the package manager.
GuixSD is a distro (SD = System Distribution).
see https://gnu.org/software/guix/
>>51398207
Linux doesn't need a replacement for systemd, Linux needs a brand image that isn't furfags and neckbeards.
I refuse to use it so long as the authors insist it be pronounced geeks instead of gooix.
