From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How can I enable Elogind support when installing programs through Guix in Void Linux? (lemmy.ml)

I recently learned about guix and would like to use it in my void linux build, but as I understand guix will be as a separate package manager. I intend to use it as an additional package manager (so I can set up environments for different programming languages and switch between them conveniently), but guix will constantly pull systemd, but I don't have it on my system and don't want it to be there How can I use elogind support for all compatible packages when installing programs through guix?

This is not true. In fact, Guix doesn't use systemd at all. When managing an operating system installation Guix uses its own init system called the Shepherd.

Elogind is a project extracted from systemd originally for use in Guix systems.
