Really cool! What is your feedback on the topic? Easy to install? Difficulties? Still unworking or unexpected behaviour? > Anyhow, I'm excited to know what my next steps could be. I truly appreciate an answer. There are different possible next steps, depending on your interest. In random order: + See if you want to contribute to the translation effort. If you are native of one of these languages: help is welcome! For example, my first contribution to Guix was to read cover-to-cover the Guix manual and proofread the French translation. Doing so is an unusual way to be familiar with the Guix ecosystem but really interesting. Note that it would be part of this effort: + Try to package something of your interest. You might read the Cookbook and the relevant part of the manual: Well, the easiest way is to create a new folder, say /tmp/foo and write your new package in the file /tmp/foo/example.scm and then: guix show -L /tmp/foo guix build -L /tmp/foo guix build -L /tmp/foo --no-grafts --check Once it builds reproducibly, you can try to include in master. Well, raise the hand at this moment. :-) + Tweak the source of Guix. git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git cd guix guix environment guix --pure ./bootstrap ./configure --localstatedir=/var/ make -j 8 # adapt make check ./pre-inst-env guix help # the fresh compiled 'guix' ;-) You could be interested by . Well, then you can try to fix a bug and I recommend one with the tag easy: And in any case, feel free to ask _any_ question on help-guix@gnu.org or IRC #guix. Keep in touch. Cheers, simon
