  1. I'm slowly rolling out new PantherX OS channels; The goal is, to make it more accessible to users and contributors / outsourcing some infrastructure so it doesn't all fall on me.

    Here's where you can find us:
    - Libera IRC #pantherx
    - Telegram #pantherxos
    - Matrix #pantherx:tchncs.de

    Also started mirroring some of our codebase on Github: github.com/PantherXOS - Many features like Hub have fallen out of maintenance; For now focus is on being go-to for nonfree-Guix, and Beginner.

  2. Something I think is interesting about #guix is that everyone uses it there own way. I use guix home for all of my day-to-day needs and guix shell for everything else, with only a few things I'm "auditioning" for guix home in my standard .guix-profile at any time, but thats completely different from how most guix users use guix, because even though its been 20 years since #nixos's debut, it remains quite novel and open to explore.

    An interesting development of this has been the emergence of "guix distros" like #rde and #pantherX, which each provide their own spin with unique UX and tools for leveraging the many features of guix. Honestly, I think it seems like the only sane way to launch a #linux distribution today without corporate oversight, and guix is sure to continue to be a space from which creativity seems to pour.

  3. In the coming weeks and months we're looking to improve how we (the #pantherx OS team) interface with the community. We are still pretty new to this, so there might be some friction 😀

    If you want to help out around the system, package some applications, contribute to the wiki, or have an interesting story about how you're using PantherX - drop us a message and join the club!

  4. We've got some exciting releases scheduled for early November:

    1. Our long awaited #pantherx GUI installer is almost ready. A few final tweaks; maybe 2 weeks+.
    2. #nheko on mobile: We've ported this high-performance #matrix client to work on #android and #ios. It also integrates nicely with accounts on PantherX OS Desktop.

    Stay tuned.

  5. > PantherX is a upstream distribution of the Guix System Distribution

    They mean downstream or derivative.

    This is super interesting! Looks like a hard focus on polish and mainstream usability, and they have a third-party software repo.

    This can probably make a good outlet for people who get annoyed with GuixSD's hard free software stance too.

  6. A quick look at the #PantherX Desktop: Here we've got the Menu with global search that can dig into PDF's and other documents, Hub with all online accounts and recent messages and of course System - at the top, right - with clear connection information; supporting all modern standards, including special cases such as OpenVPN with stunnel.
