They don’t even know that.

Nope. The most important difference: You cannot prove anything in physics. Only in maths, you have 100% certain proofs.

Well and chemistry is just applied electron physics

I still don’t understand why I should need GPU acceleration for my fucking TEXT EDITOR

If you want to try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed without all these weird defaults: Try Gecko Linux.

Both. I have to use windows at work and I hate it.

I did a little bit of distro hopping: Mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Arch, Guix. Now I think I finally arrived at Tumbleweed, no need to hop somewhere else so far.

But I really like the concept behind Guix, it’s just not finished enough.

I’m studying nano science right now, I think it still exists. And if it does it’s still a super amazing thing.

They are exasperated that we use computer mice.

So they use Tiling window managers and vim-keys? The future is bright!

Yes

But he said it does exactly what you need?

I really liked “small brained american” travelling from Ireland to Japan (on a motorcycle). It starts slow and kind of boring in the UK but the later parts are so good. Less commentary, just showing life. He is visiting “dangerous” countries like Ukraine, Iraq and Myanmar, but focussing on the normal people’s everyday lifes, while being a “small brained american”.

Suddenly they all make 99.999 billion…

I can not find that movie. Did you spell it correctly?

If you know where to look you can get a high end bike that was unfinished at the factory and didn’t get painted/stickered/branded and pay a fraction of the price.

Can you tell me where that is?

Yes, that’s true. You lose reproducibility by using distrobox. But so far I did not need distrobox on my Guix laptop, the nonguix repo was enough. It was just a suggestion for somebody caring more about availability of packages than reproducibility to use Guix as the stable base and distrobox on top.

So far I had not much time, but I tried and failed with different errors when trying to pull an image regarding policy.json. do you use docker or podman?

Maybe use btrfs, which has reduplication and compression capabilities. I never tried it in Guix but it’s like magic.

This looks like a problem with the image. But I can try as soon as I am back home.

That’s what I mean with distrobox. You decide to run distribution A. Later you realize a package(program) is not available in A but in distribution B. So you run distrobox and have B on top of A. And access to all the packages.

Whenever somebody recommends NixOS, I just want to spam the comments with Guix. I prefer configs I can understand, and I think lisp makes that easier. Other than syntax, the only thing I see is people complaining about the free-oftware-only. But the recently hyped distrobox solves that (together with the nonguix repo). Yet nobody recommends guix in all these “immutable” distro threads.

In my opinion Guix is the best mix of:

• Arch (rolling release),

• NixOS (“immutable”, atomic updates , rollback, reproducible, declarative configs)

• Gentoo (source code based, write your own package definitions for any source code you find),

with some lispy syntax.
