VioletPosting from #guix ! I can already tell this is gonna be kind of a nightmare, but I'm gonna give it a try!
avpUpdated Guile-INI to the version 1.0.0 in GNU Guix:

Daniel LakelandOK, So progress on getting my son ready to learn Quarto for his term paper project. I have the quarto tar.gz distribution and julia via juliaup. Set up a manifest. Included typst in the manifest, and a number of other things. Then outside the container running codium. using the manifest #guix shell --emulate-fhs allows #julialang and quarto to run just fine. So he can edit his document and then at the terminal type #quarto render document.qmd and it runs julia and renders to pdf via typst.
Holy crap guys. I just looked back in my order history and that little Celeron laptop I just upgraded to current #guix with a little zram was actually ordered in april 2015. 2.16GHz 2 core Celeron with 4GB RAM that's 11 years old. I would totally feel comfortable giving this to a nontechnical person to surf the web. 100% functional for everyday computing.

So, #guix friends. This system is amazing, but there are programs that say Debian has which are not available on Guix, and there are other reasons I might want to run another system.
Can I install Incus, and create Debian containers, and have GUI apps inside the container run connecting to my host Guix X/wayland server? Maybe by exposing some /tmp/x_something_or_other sockets?
Has anyone done that and gotten sound and graphics working inside the container by connecting to the host?
Well, for those of you rooting for #guix on my little laptop, you'll be happy to know that by killing of xorg-server and running pull in the terminal it was able to complete. By looking carefully at guix weather I was able to determine which things didn't have substitutes and remove them from consideration... so it also managed to do a system reconfigure on the little 4G laptop and now I have 4G of zram as well. This little 2018 era Celeron with 4G of RAM is very usable for general purpose stuff
AnthkKernel panic for #guix with the #nonfree #linux kernel.
Freedom matters and stability too.
With opaque blobs (bt/b43) you can't trully know what the hardware is actually doing.
OpenBSD had similar issues with Ralink devices. Something I never lived thru the libre ath9k baded ones.
Demand #libre firmware for hardware.

KhleedrilToday's revelation: if you are in an #emacs buffer listing, and want to close a number of buffers, you mark them with 'd' and then press <space>. 'x' and 'g' don't work.
You will exit the buffer listing, but if you go back into it ('C-x C-b'), you will see that the buffers you selected are gone.
I've been trying to accomplish this for years. Nowhere have I found the solution online, despite searching high and low.
Sharlatan#guixgoteam is working slowly on bringing GitHub CLI to #Guix

If anyone would like to review #Golang packages you may volunteer yourself to review 210+ items chain bringing #TailScale on board ;-)
I'm 4 hours into doing a #guix pull... its crashed multiple times I think either from out of memory or gnome going to sleep mid pull, along with all the debugging I had to do because I had some incompatible channel settings... after rebooting and killing X I think this time it'll work. then once the pull is over I can reconfigure the OS... all this is on a Chromebook like Celeron from 2018 with 4GB of RAM. Hopefully the reconfigure works and I can get some zram on here.
