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.

We need more GUIX here. Not using the distro but really interested in knowing more about it. Hype seems to be solely focused on NixOS lately.
I heard the opposite, that guille is easier to learn than NixOS language.
I find it more intuitive, if that makes sense.
Can't you just use the standard Linux kernel? You can just tell GUIX to use the standardized kernel in its config file
I try to write about it as much as I can here! There's also !guix@lemmy.ml
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !guix@lemmy.ml
