I wouldn’t go the manual way if you are not forced. If you use NetworkManager you can import the configuration either grafically or with nmcli.

It should be sufficiente to modify the network manager service provided by Guix:


<span style="color:#323232;">(modify-services %desktop-services
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> [...]
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> (network-manager-service-type config =>
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> 		               (network-manager-configuration
</span><span style="color:#323232;">			        (inherit config)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">			        (vpn-plugins (list network-manager-openvpn))))
</span>

reconfiguring your system, rebooting and then importing the configuration and set your credentials

fishinthecalculator,

It is quite basic still and historically had some problems with reboots, but lately it has gained a lot of attention and bug fixes. I have no experience of runnit, compared to systemd is leaner but in my experience there’s no big feature lacking

fishinthecalculator,

They do very different things even if the outcome is the same. You are not rollingback your system by downgrading each package. You are statefully changing your filesystem. Rollbacks in Nix and Guix are internet free, atomic and reproducible because they amount to changing the target of a single symlink

fishinthecalculator,

I guess you are not entitled free support once you execute a free program

fishinthecalculator,

with nonguix the lines are like five instead of one, but yes there are less packages than nix. the real selling point imho is how everything is human-sized and consistent

fishinthecalculator,

I think functional distros like Guix or Nix are just another thing. Their ability of programming , provisioning and deploying software environments is unparalleled. My personal favorite is Guix since, while having less packages than Nix, it has the most consistent experience: everything is in Scheme from the top to the bottom of the distro. Also it pushes really hard on a sane bootstrapping story while allowing for impurity through channels like nonguix .

The main downside is the lack of tutorials and a documentation that’s very intense, let’s say. typical of GNU projects. I suggest the System Crafters youtube channel which has a lot of nice tutorials

fishinthecalculator,

Yes and if you like lisp or FSDG compliance have a look at Guix

fishinthecalculator, (edited )

The fact that you see guix downloading mariadb is probably due to “inputs bloat” you may never be able to get rid of it without an upstream fix or providing your own implementation of some upstream package/service. 4 to 6 hours is a lot, do you use substitutes?

If you want to reduce the bloatedness of your operating-system record, look into %desktop-services or %base-services (depending on which one you are overriding) and delete/replace what you will with modify-services.

Here are my configurations.

fishinthecalculator,

Hi, I just wanted to share small collection of utilities I’m maintaining to ease my way into Guix development. I hope they can help you as they do for me :)

fishinthecalculator,

Working Screensharing from first boot lmao

fishinthecalculator,

Just use lisp

fishinthecalculator,

No. They are not equal and neither same. If you understand Italian I suggest you to search for Prof. Barbero videos on the topic. They are quite better than anything I’ll be able to convey.

Fascism:

It’s an authoritarian dictatorship happened between 1914 and 1945 in Italy. The fascist regime and ideology was strictly based on Mussolini’s figure, people marched in straight lines down the streets, everyone wearing the same uniforms and Italy was a great imperialist nation (lol jk it wasn’t but they quite believed it). Fascism and the fascist party stopped existing after partisans overthrew the regime. Fascism is a 20 years long dictatorship. After that there were some regimes around the world that were inspired by Mussolini such as the current ruling party Italy Fratelli d’Italia, Marine le Pen’s party in France, those shitty AFD in Germany, orban’s Regime, franco in Spain etc etc. They are called neofascists, because Fascism was a 20 years long regime happened in Italy between 1914 and 1945.

Communism:

Communism is a model of governace that’s never been achieved in human history, as someone above said it’s about classless, stateless, governance models. It’s been around for like 200 years (the Communist Party Manifesto is from 1848), and in every country of the world there is/ has been a Communist Party and as we know they were always persecuted for being communist, stopped from going to the government and stopped from bulding a classless society when they managed to get to govern. Just see what the USA did in the last 50/60 years in every country that risked a communist government: Chile and latin America in general, Italy and so on an so forth.

Fascism =/= communism, and if you say the contrary you just don’t know how they work.

fishinthecalculator,

Like third grade history I believe

fishinthecalculator,

not sure if it’s still useful, I sometimes use this script to find out which executable file depend on which shared library in a fs tree. maybe it can help you too

fishinthecalculator,

My guess would be that it’s not a property of the kernel, it’s a property of the software distribution you build upon that kernel. The same way you can distribute software for Linux with Guix, Nix, APT, RPM, Flatpak, I suppose in the Redox world you could distribute software and deploy systems in many different ways.

fishinthecalculator,

You are probably looking at the 1.4 release download page, if you click on the latest release it should be there.

Let me know if you manage to get it running 🥺 I was about to open a bug report

fishinthecalculator,

Do you have commit access? Otherwise your account is mostly useless also if they don’t delete it.

fishinthecalculator,

If you don’t have commit access you don’t need an account. I contributed many times without ever registering on Savannah.

fishinthecalculator,

it’s not like it’s easy contributing to guix :( i really hope they move to something more accessible

fishinthecalculator,

imho having a more accessible contribution workflow would increase the number of people interested in spending time in reviewing.

Regardless of the many problems of web forges today the ability to review only what’s changed between the various revisions of a pull request and the comments in a single view is not achievable with a simple email workflow. You end up reimplementing the PR/MR functionality with other tools, exactly as is happening with the Guix QA tools. I love them but we’re reimplementing gitlab/gitea/codeberg by parsing patch revisions from emails subjects.
