I like Nix and Scheme so it just makes sense. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jack@monero.town 3 points 3 years ago I wanted to like Guix very much, but eventually found it extremely inflexible. You will miss a lot of packages that are not trivial to create in Scheme yourself. Also a lot of packages have issues that no one wants to fix, or it takes half a year (e.g. being able to use NetworkManager for an eduroam/university wifi connection). It's also not possible to just compile a package yourself because the directory structure is totally different. I don't think Guix will ever become more flexible, I've given up on it permalink fedilink source parent
