Thanks for your interest! Currently, there is no such stories, AFAIK. We discussed something like that when releasing v1.2 but we had not been able to make it. Well, if you are French speaker, a two mornings* workshop is in the pipe. The announce should come really soon. The idea is sharing feedback with other users from sysadmin to researcher. *morning in metropolitan France meaning. :-) > As a first step I would like to discuss with the sysadmins if they > would consider activating user namespaces so users can play > around. Aside from [1] and [2], are there any updated discussions > about this topic, e.g. why to do it or why not? You mean to run "bundles" on computers that do not have Guix installed, rig= ht? Well, the answer "qui peut le plus peut le moins" is maybe not satisfactoring... if you have the choice to do it, you should. Even, if you have the choice to install Guix (the package manager), you also should. Cheers, simon
