@mike_k hmm you failed when you tried #nonguix image as well huh?
Most of the failures I see are due to drivers and/or a complex partition/existing filesystem set-up that the installer doesn't know about.
If you know what your steps were that landed-up with efi messed up a bug report on #guix codeberg would be very welcome.
And, about my last toot: having a free firmware matters, *a lot*.
From security to privacy, and to avoid kernel panics, even under
not totally free operating systems as #openbsd (atheros ath9k
supported wireless devices).
Dear Dave Thompson, if your sole issue it's the firmware, why is #nonguix
full of software (non firmware) crap? Do we really need these:
- MakeMKV
- Nvidia GL libraries
- Nvidia utilities
- Electron
- Google Chrome
- Genesis Plus GX
- Steam
- Zoom
- Allegro Common Lisp (SBCL works you know and it's #FLOSS)
- Zotero
- Obsidian
- Nvidia AI libraries
- Anydesk
- Unrar
And a few more, clojure and docker/k8s related.
So here we go.
After more than 10 years of loyal service, my old pc passed by. Time to try something new, time for a #slimbook pc.
The #guix compatible and friendly #slimbookone mini pc runs #GuixSystem smoothly, thanks to the #nonguix repository.
Would be great to have #guix as an option among the several #linux distributions available @slimbook.
cache-test server uses mirror-substitutes (and store paths from guix-store-paths) to mirror substitutes from any upstream.
