I did it! GNOME is back! 1 months of hell.
Next time, I won't delete all previous generations.

What am I doing... Sitting here making an algorithem to automatically mount drives on guix...
And I am more then half way there... using the out put from "lsblk -J" as a text object and some pasing shinanigans. All that's left is to find a way to get partition format outputted by something...

With this I can also automate formating.

So #GuixSystem (i.e., the OS) has a service to provide a build VM to sandbox the #Guix build process, and this made me think, it could be handy to provide a service for creating #Trisquel or #Parabola VMs as a base, effectively extending the Guix functionality set with the Debian & Arch Linux package archives

I really like the ideas behind Guix, and learned a lot by reading its documentation and playing with it. But I will put it back on a shelf for now, because what I need is a system for daily use which gets out of the way. At my current skill level with it, and in its current state, we're not quite there yet.

I'm keeping my configuration files and a fresh installation iso, so I can get going more quickly next time I feel like trying it again.

After a few days of testing, it turns out #FedoraSilverblue is going to fit the bill nicely. It shares some ideas with Guix (immutability, rollbacks, in general better isolation between OS and apps), and everything I need seems to be available and working out of the box.
It's running smoothly on this 10-year old Intel Nuc, so will also be fine on a 10-year old MacBook Pro (with slightly higher specs) whenever I'm ready to make the switch.

This other thread is what prompted me to try and find a more future-proof OS: https://fediscience.org/@Guillawme/113152436757689301

First time I have time to play with #Guix and #GuixSystem since the previous post... The spring semester is getting very busy very fast, leaving little time for this experiment.

Today `guix pull` really made the computer break a sweat, big time. This is telling me that, as cool as Guix is, and as much as I like the ideas it embodies, maybe I am not quite yet ready to make it my main OS. On the other hand, with today's update several CLI apps I was missing are now available. Really cool to see more things entering the package collection!

I still want to contribute some package definitions, but at the current rates at which I learn and guix improves, these might well be contributed by others by the time I figure out how to make them build* or how to send my contributions**.

*: with some I got stuck, see for example https://codeberg.org/guix-science/guix-science/issues/64

**: I wish the main guix channel was on a forge like Codeberg, it would be so much easier to contribute.
