Reposting because it looks like federation failed.

I was just reading about it, it sounds like a pretty cool OS and package manager. Has anyone actually used it?

    Yes, I read all specs before installing anything I ever use.

    It’s literally in the front page of the project. https://guix.gnu.org/

    Hackable. It provides Guile Scheme APIs, including high-level embedded domain-specific languages (EDSLs) to define packages and whole-system configurations.

    No idea how you survive Nix’s scattered documentation.

      “provides Guile Scheme APIs”. Yeah, I provide this software in Slint. This software provides Linux APIs. This software provides HTTP APIs. kek

      What a helpful description.

      Nix’s documentation doesn’t try to invent a new way to say “this was written in $language” and has less members like you around. Much easier to deal with.
