There=E2=80=99s nothing wrong with using an email server that is operated by somebody else, so there=E2=80=99s absolutely no need to apologize. Furthermore, it=E2=80=99s up to *you* what software you use. Some people construe the use of proprietary software or centralized services as a moral failing of some sort =E2=80=94 it certainly is not. Proprietary soft= ware denies those who use it control. That is why it is injust. We only ask that proprietary software should not be endorsed or discussed on the Guix project communication channels. But nobody should judge others for the software they choose to use (or accept to be used by). > The software that is on this page: > https://www.simulide.com/p/home.html > From my perspective, it is free software, since it is published under the > GPL, however it is not within the Guix repository, could you add it so th= at > it can be available? I'm not so sure how to create the package, so I come > to you. If you are interested in learning how to package this, we could do this together. This is a Qt5 application =E2=80=93 we have a couple of those in= the repository. The README.md file lists a few dependencies, most of which look familiar to me. The only difficult part might be to integrate the AVR GCC toolchain, but we can cross that bridge when we get there. If you like to give it a try, I suggest you read and follow along in the packaging tutorial in the Cookbook: https://guix.gnu.org/cookbook/en/html_node/Packaging.html Once you have a rough understanding of how things are designed to work we can work on this package together here on help-guix@gnu.org. Sounds good? > And finally, I am a university student, so I am forced to use proprietary > services under the web such as Google Meet, Gmail, etc. Could it be > feasible to use guix with these services without compromising freedom, or > would it be better to continue using Windows for these areas? At least for Gmail there=E2=80=99s a way to use it without proprietary soft= ware (=3D their JavaScript that your browser mindlessly executes). You can use Gmail as an IMAP/POP + SMTP server and connect to it with free software. I no longer use Gmail, but the solution I use also works for Gmail: offlineimap (for synchronizing a local copy of my email with the IMAP server), msmtpd (for sending emails through the remote SMTP server), mu (for local indexing and search), and mu4e (for a mail client in Emacs). --=20 Ricardo
