What is the latest kernel release for Guix?

What is the latest kernel release for Guix?

[Stephen Snow]

Hello,
I am a long time Linux user and a current Fedora user specifically. I
have briefly played around a bit with Guix on one of my laptops, but
needed to revert due to unrelated (to Guix) reasons. I am curious what
is the current Kernel level? Is it a pace with Libre-kernel (ie 6.0)?

Regards,
Stephen Snow

6.0.8.

There is no great Web alternative to ‘guix show linux-libre@6’, 
yet, but you can use <https://hpc.guix.info/browse> to search for 
‘^linux-libre’.

Yes.  Guix follows Linux-Libre updates within the week, on 
average.  Comfortably so.

Kind regards,

Just to add that you can now search for packages in https://packages.guix.gnu.org/ as well.

And linux-libre versions are also listed in this page:

https://packages.guix.gnu.org/packages/linux-libre/

Yep, I just tried it out earlier today, after seeing DNS changes.  Nice!

(Is the background colour meant to indicate betaness, or do you intend to keep it?)

Sent on the go.  Excuse or enjoy my brevity.

I'd keep it if people don't complain about it :)

But I'm planning to add a dark theme that's enabled automatically depending on users desktop or browser preferences (using CSS prefers-color-scheme).

It's an intense and unexpected colour to fill an entire screen, 
but you're the designer.  I'm certainly not complaining.

I *love* Guix's colour scheme, for which I believe you're 
responsible(?), and that (new?) purple both matches and contrasts 
perfectly.  So me hap either way.

Kind regards,
