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

Attached: 1 image After a few weeks of work: a #GNOME session running on the #shepherd! This implementation in #guile is completely independent of systemd and can run on any init system! Thanks to @[email protected] for their help :) #Guix will need this for GNOME 49, since the original GNOME session dropped the non-systemd implementation.
