Protonvpn has some instructions to connect via openvpn:...

I’m not sure if this is the right term to use, but in Nix, there’s a shell.nix file to access the shell in an isolated, pure environment. I have a repository, basically a web app that uses NodeJS. I want to be able to invoke a new shell using guix shell. What is the similar equivalent in Guix? Is it guix.scm or manifest.scm?

I am looking forward to hardening my system, but I’m not sure how I should go about it. Any advice?

I am thinking about moving to Guix, and was wondering what you all think of Shepherd?...

For some reason, the app nm-connection-editor (Advanced Network Configuration) exists on my GNOME, but I don’t even use it. I suspect that it’s a part of package nm-applet. I also have system-config-printer (Print Settings, I think?) and system-config-printer-applet, but both of them don’t work properly....

I’m a Guix newbie, and I’m also not making use of Guix Home, so for the time being, I’m forced to build the entire config.scm from scratch. However, what I’ve noticed while building is that I get this weird log:...

It seems to me that there’s no service for pipewire available at the moment. How do I configure pipewire to run with GNOME, ideally with pipewire-pulse?

Currently, I’m on a Guix System, and I must say, using Nix with it, or vice-versa, is a terrible idea because of one simple reason: contamination of environment variables: PATH, LD_PRELOAD and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, just to name a few. Most of my Flakes are useless on the Guix System, and I can imagine the same for Guix expressions...

New blog post on the 100+ Guix packages contributed by AMD, preliminary tests on one the French national supercomputers, and how it can benefit going forward to both AMD and the French and European #HPC environments.

Here is my current configuration:...

Old post but better have it in this community

Edit: Turns out for what I’m trying to do (mount luks encrypted raid after start up) only needs the device mapping for the raid drive and not a file-system object....

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....

TL;DR: Guix Packager is a new web user interface for defining Guix packages, which should help make Guix more approachable!...

Compare this to this 2020 blog post, which had the source binary at 60MiB...

I thought this was really cool: it’s backed by a non-profit and one of their supported distros is Guix System!

I had installed Guix with Mate as my DE but a big part of my desktop experience is having Plank as my dock. I don’t see it in the package list on the Guix website. Am I mistaken or is Plank not usable on Guix ? Any recomendations for alternatives ?
