I have set up a Guix substitute server! It curre builds guixcn, nonguix and rosenthal channels.

Configuration at:

(see Continuous Integration section)

There's no guarantees before the server appearing in any of the channels it builds ;)

New Guix System LiveCDs (console + desktop) for manual installation!

Pre-built images are available for x86_64-linux:

Configurations and more information for these images are in my dotfiles repository (see the "LiveCDs" section). You can build them on your own!

make update-channels live

Typical steps for the manual installation of Guix System are available in Guix manual.

Quoting the introduction:

GNU Guix is a package management tool for and distribution of the GNU system. Guix makes it easy for unprivileged users to install, upgrade, or remove software packages, to roll back to a previous package set, to build packages from source, and generally assists with the creation and maintenance of software environments.

The manual covers many interesting topics and Getting Started is a good entry point. Git repository of GNU Guix is hosted on Codeberg, you can reach the community via various communication channels as well.

The LiveCDs includes proprietary firmwares from the Nonguix channel, you can get help for relevant topics from their communication channels ;)

So guys I'm using an old 2014 laptop to try out #GUIX and I want nonfree kernel stuff, so I want to add #nonguix and I noticed a couple things... the first is that the nonguix releases don't actually have any install images all the way back to Dec 2024 https://github.com/SystemCrafters/guix-installer/releases

Second is, even that install image doesn't seem to set up nonguix channels after install? I'm not sure actually.

Third is if you're manually setting up, you need to read the nonguix README all the way to the bottom
