They do very different things even if the outcome is the same. You are not rollingback your system by downgrading each package. You are statefully changing your filesystem. Rollbacks in Nix and Guix are internet free, atomic and reproducible because they amount to changing the target of a single symlink

I guess you are not entitled free support once you execute a free program

I think functional distros like Guix or Nix are just another thing. Their ability of programming , provisioning and deploying software environments is unparalleled. My personal favorite is Guix since, while having less packages than Nix, it has the most consistent experience: everything is in Scheme from the top to the bottom of the distro. Also it pushes really hard on a sane bootstrapping story while allowing for impurity through channels like nonguix .

The main downside is the lack of tutorials and a documentation that's very intense, let's say. typical of GNU projects. I suggest the System Crafters youtube channel which has a lot of nice tutorials

with nonguix the lines are like five instead of one, but yes there are less packages than nix. the real selling point imho is how everything is human-sized and consistent

If you need to run Grafana on the Guix System this post is the right place. In this example we'll setup Grafana to read metrics from the same machine it's run upon, but you can adapt this to use a remote datasource.

I'm developing a Guix channel with a library of community maintained Shepherd Services for self-hosted software that is not yet guixable.

For now there are Grafana, Prometheus and Conduit but it would be amazing if you'd like to contribute some services or even just test the existing ones and report any bug.

Yes and if you like lisp or FSDG compliance have a look at Guix

No. They are not equal and neither same. If you understand Italian I suggest you to search for Prof. Barbero videos on the topic. They are quite better than anything I'll be able to convey.

Fascism:

It's an authoritarian dictatorship happened between 1914 and 1945 in Italy. The fascist regime and ideology was strictly based on Mussolini's figure, people marched in straight lines down the streets, everyone wearing the same uniforms and Italy was a great imperialist nation (lol jk it wasn't but they quite believed it). Fascism and the fascist party stopped existing after partisans overthrew the regime. Fascism is a 20 years long dictatorship. After that there were some regimes around the world that were inspired by Mussolini such as the current ruling party Italy Fratelli d'Italia, Marine le Pen's party in France, those shitty AFD in Germany, orban's Regime, franco in Spain etc etc. They are called neofascists, because Fascism was a 20 years long regime happened in Italy between 1914 and 1945.

Communism:

Communism is a model of governace that's never been achieved in human history, as someone above said it's about classless, stateless, governance models. It's been around for like 200 years (the Communist Party Manifesto is from 1848), and in every country of the world there is/ has been a Communist Party and as we know they were always persecuted for being communist, stopped from going to the government and stopped from bulding a classless society when they managed to get to govern. Just see what the USA did in the last 50/60 years in every country that risked a communist government: Chile and latin America in general, Italy and so on an so forth.

Fascism =/= communism, and if you say the contrary you just don't know how they work.

Does anyone have experience in flashing the Pinebook Pro EMMC with Guix? The images provided on the website don't boot on my SDCard with TowBoot.

I flashed it multiple times with

dd if=guix-latest.img of=/dev/mmcblkX bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync

Am I supposed to do something specific?

How can I prevent Doom Emacs from pointlessly downloading emacs packages whenever I update it and instead load the ones provided by Guix?

I have this in my Doom configuration but I have no idea about how to test if it's working, and anyway Doom still dowloads i.e. undo-tree which I installed in my Guix profile

Yes I definitely agree: free software is also a requirement for bootstrappability and reproducibility.

You mean reproducibility and bootstrappability?
