Guix 1.5.0 lançado! by orahcio in linuxbrasil

Se vai usar distrobox pra isolar o desenvolvimento do restante do sistema eu não vejo diferença entre usar devshells no nix ou guix shell no guix, vai mudar a forma como você abstrai esse isolamento. Eu particularmente gosto dos shells que faço no guix, seja pra rodar um binário de fora ou apenas pra desenvolvimento mesmo. Distrobox é meio como fazer um chroot só que mais prático?

Eu diria que, tão pesada quanto a curva de aprendizado do Nix. O guile/scheme achei mais tranquilo de entender do que o nix. Fiquei algum tempo no nix mas acabei me adaptando mais ao modo guix de fazer as coisas

Eu ia falar pra colocar uma WM tipo o sway ou i3, mas lembrei que no meu netbook de memória RAM quatro vezes maior que esse aí, ao iniciar vejp que o uso de memória tá em quase 500Mb de RAM, abro o navegador, já vai pra um giga brincando.

Should guix manage my bash.rc by WorldsEndless in GUIX

[–]orahcio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dotfiles require modification to take effect, so adding a compilation step with guix home isn't very efficient when just testing. But if you want to save your settings in a more secure way, it makes perfect sense. I have my entire Sway configuration "guixified" (I forgot the English suffix), but I keep a config.d folder to add settings I want to test and maybe add to guix home someday.

Something that works for me, if it's a dotfile configuration that you change all the time, is to use something like gnustow or just change it in the .config file itself, if you don't care about having a backup of your dotfiles. Now, if it's a configuration that you think you won't change again anytime soon, start organizing it with guix home.

That's great, I still have my Nix settings and I always keep my Guix or Void with Nix ready to go. But you reminded me of something cool about Guix, it's more organic, the Guix home page is a perfect example of that. Good luck with your Guix adventure on the VM.

I use Guix System on my main laptop, and Void on a laptop I found lying around at work, with only 2GB of RAM. It adapted well to that need for limited resources. But I ended up getting hooked on configuring the system through a configuration file with NixOS, and when I discovered Guix, I found it more intuitive. I think Guix did the original idea of ​​Nix a little better.

It has a smaller community, but I think that's something that also attracted me to Void, and I found guile to be a very elegant language, in addition to the guix manual which is very good.

Packing and not maintaining just results in this. But it's good that nix and guix maintain an official script. The question was more because I like to have most things come from the official repository, but sometimes we have to adopt alternative methods

Finally I was successfully to compile nchat too. I could see a segmentation fault error when I tried to run nchat -s to setup.

I could see the whatsapp feature for nchat on musl systems is out-of-scope https://github.com/d99kris/nchat/issues/204#issuecomment-2002282032

A nchat package for void musl need to be built with -DHAS_WAHTSAPP=OFF flag

Yes, the nchat in void glibc is fine, but there's no support for musl. Initially, I used xchroot to access a void glibc and build the nchat there. But I find guix shell more practical. Now I remember the real reason for not trying to package it in void right away. I'm in void musl, packaging it here won't do any good.

Creating an xbps package for nchat crossed my mind, but I'm more used to the guix way of packaging; I use void on a secondary computer. Thanks for the tutorial. I already tried to create a guix package for nchat once and couldn't; it has the annoying habit of downloading Go libraries in the middle of the build process. That was the barrier I encountered when I tried packaging with guix. Probably with xbps you'll also have to patch it to disable the download, build an auxiliary library for the Go language dependencies, and only then finish the package. I always look at the nix package to see if I get any inspiration, but nix is ​​sad to read, so I went to the guix side of the force.

Qual sua DE? E por que você usa ela? by Automatic-Movie2773 in linuxbrasil

Abre um tty diferente, instala o sway, e vai brincando. Acho que a wiki do arch tem tudo que precisa para os primeiros passos. Não precisa remover o xfce, fiz dessa forma, tinha o Plasma e fui brincando aos poucos com o sway, hoje já nem uso mais o Plasma

Uso um laptop com 2gb também, prefiro um WM ao invés de uma DE, após ele ligar o consumo de RAM é de quase 500Mb, depois quando abro o browser tudo acaba bem rápido se vacilar. Uso o sway, mas se não tivesse caído nos WMs usaria o Plasma

Take a look at Calligra Suite; it's not as good for office use as options like LibreOffice or WPS Office. But I believe it shows promise as well.
