       Hello fediverse, here's my #introduction post. Although I joined in the middle of the great TwitterMigration, I've been actually planning to join a very long time.I'm a software developer and a long time Linux/#FOSS user. I maintain packages in #Fedora, but recently been also exploring #guix.I'm interested in #ethics and #sustainability in computing and in real life, more on the side of doing than posting about it.I also enjoy art a lot, good books, music, movies and visual art.

I maintain packages in #Fedora, but recently been also exploring #guix.I've been exploring #guix too, both as a user and by trying to update the #rakulang packages.  It's a fascinating distro, but certainly has a learning curve.Do you think you'll stick with it?

       @codesections We'll see, it seems like a great tool, but yes has a learning curve. I run it on a foreign distro to test it and use some packages not available in Fedora. I think it has a long way to go to be used my primary laptop OS.Also I currently I explore running it in a VM as a remote development environment (the guix shell is a nice!) and as a CICD-solution. Also the home configuration feature looks nice.

       @korkeala > I think it [#guix] has a long way to go to be used my primary laptop OS.I'd agree with that, but I'd note that "laptop" is a pretty important word in that sentence: I'm currently using Guix as my primary *desktop* OS, and it's going pretty well.That's because running Guix on a (fairly beefy) desktop mitigates two pain points for laptop use: I don't need wifi (sidestepping Guix's driver support), and I can more easily build from source when Guix doesn't have a binary substitute.
