  1. @jameshowell @guix @daviwil I did some tests few months ago. I wanted to verify how usable will be a beautiful #thinkpad X200s which I bought long time ago. Instead of having some stable system as a base I used #guixos . Before I knew nothing about Scheme (still not much more) but it wasn’t any obstacle. The whole idea is elegant and clear. During my journey I used official docs and #LLM companion (#kiro cli). This combo let me move on super fast. I am amazed by results. I like minimalistic setups so my choose were: #i3wm , #neovim , qutebrowser, pass, #NextCloud client and #aerc . I also gave a try to #emacs but I still don’t feel it. The whole setup works extremely well. Thanks to good LLM advice on structuring config files to achieve composability I was enabled to prepare different profiles for my different machines while maintaining single configurations per functionality. Now I have longer pause but in nearest time I plan to experiment with #ubuntu + guix. I hope I reach out testing phase and stary using the setup for daily basis.

  2. I am curious... I want to install a #tiling window manager on my #linux system. I'm not (for now) going to Wayland. Which tiling window manager do you recommend, and why?

    Another option appears to be coretile. Has anyone used it?
