It's Friday, so that must mean that it's time to make an attempt at some kind of productivity around the house.
Not really.
What I have come to a decision on, however, is that I'm getting ready to replace my Arch-derived laptops (well, some of the older ones, anyhow) with other options.
I'm sure that everyone has heard about the kerfuffle surrounding the Archlinux AUR. Thankfully, from what I have been able to determine for my part, I'm clean. Historically I've been burned too many times in the past by that little bit of dependency nightmare, so I try to avoid it at all costs.
Now, I think I'm going to once again see if I can't get into the Guix System. I feel A LOT more comfortable with Lisp languages now than I did a few months ago, plus I feel that I have at least a better understanding of Guix and it's whole setup.
The unfortunate part being that I, like a lot of people, need to use a nonguix image just to be able to connect wirelessly. That does throw a small wrench into things.
There are solutions to that problem, though. Some amazing people provide install images that work very well.
Currently, I'm sitting here waiting for a pull command to finish up so I can actually do the install using the nonguix channel. Patience is one thing I do have at the moment.
Ah, the first boot is done!
Now the tweaking begins
