Subject: bug#47631: Add graphical installation and solve tons of headache
Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2021 05:13:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2b6d36dc-13b2-9b56-5f79-3ab63317a8a1@riseup.net> (raw)
Hi There,
According to my communications on IRC i see that guix doesnt want to
have an offline installation, Which mean it need internet connection
available at the installation process.
This is fine except when user having either static-ip or using VM which
doesnt give readable network interface to the distro inside it (falling
into same category of static-ip).
solving/giving:
- Adding static IP and so as manually installing is not well documented
and need knowledge and skills (very faraway to be handled by new
users)check #47630
- Easiness of modifying things e.g instead of using tens of commands it
will be replaced with couple of clicks and for surely less typing
(compare gparted vs parted steps or network-manager vs ip commands and
so on). You can checkout many distros whos giving this opportunity like
nixos, trisquel/triskel, mint...etc
- Give trial usage of the distro for the user before installing it
...etc
And any user who doesnt want GUI he can switch to tty for commands or
textual installation. (The image of the guix will be bigger for surely,
But as they say the bigger the better)
ThX!
