Announcing a new #Guix release with version 1.5.0.

https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2026/gnu-guix-1.5.0-released/

Guix is a rolling release meaning users receive the latest updates continuously.
This release updates all the installation media when setting up Guix on a new system.

It can be used as a package manager on top of an existing Linux distribution (e.g. #debian, #ubuntu, #suse, #fedora, #archlinux, etc). Or it can be used as a stand-alone #linux distribution installed as #desktop #server or in the #cloud.

Since the previous release Guix has added 12,525 new packages and 29,932 packages have been updated.

- #KDE Plasma and a #declarative configuration service

- There are around 40 new system services to choose from such as Forgejo Runner and RabbitMQ

- Full-source bootstraps of the #Zig and #Mono their compilers are now available

- Other major updates include GCC 15.2.0, Emacs 30.2, Icecat and Librewolf 140, LLVM 21.1.8 and Linux-libre 6.17.12.

- Contributing teams building packages for areas including #openscience, #hpc, #electronics, #python, #astronomy and #rust

Now is the time to submit a talk for the declarative and minimalistic computing room at FOSDEM

https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2025q4/003662.html

If you're into #guix or #declarative #linux then there's lots of interesting areas.

Some ideas:

* building and configuring #guix and #guile #scheme - how particular services are used.
* #guix and containerization / #docker
* deploying #guix services in the cloud / on servers
* running #guix on a hosted Linux distribution like #debian #ubuntu or #suse
* managing development work flows

And so much more ...

It's a super friendly room so submit your talk now! Or talk to @pjotrprins
