Installing Guix as a Complete GNU/Linux System - System Crafters
(systemcrafters.net)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Btw, here's how you install distrobox on Guix.
First, install rootless Podman: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Miscellaneous-Services.html#Rootless-Podman-Service.
You need to edit your
/etc/config.scm
or where ever you store your system config. Import the right modules/services, add your user tocgroup
, addiptables-service-type
to yourservices
, addrootless-podman-service-type
and configure it.Then of course you run
guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
.Now you can do a simple
guix install distrobox
. If you installdistrobox
first, you don't end up using rootless podman and you run into more problems that way. (You have to usedistrobox --root
.)After that command, everything should work like normal. Enjoy. 🍻
