Ran through the graphical installation, going through configuration options that have caused problems in the past (Esperanto locale, based in Brussels, with Neo2 keyboard layout, fully encrypted disk). The installation proceeded like a charm. Perhaps partly to do with me now being used to the installer, and having hardware that "just works" with libre software, but this was super user friendly. And actually also super fast! Congratulations and a massive thanks to everyone who's put time and energy into this! I can honestly say, with the current state, I would absolutely try a guix system deployment in the first instance on any laptop I might consider a GNU\Linux install, and only falling back to Debian if there are hardware issues. Very impressed. Best wishes, Alex Mathieu Othacehe writes: > Hello, > > The 1.2 release is on its way. So here's the traditional call for > installer testing.
