Oh thank you.

I'll take a look on his channel. I've already installed Guix System by myself a year ago. X220 with libreboot, full disk encryption and everything.

The thing is that I don't feel confident. For example what if I wanted to port a program to Guix I wouldn't now from where to start. Or how do I learn to solve problems by myself. I'm so accustomed to using Debian apt and dpkg and over-bloating my system. With Guix I have the freedom of just having what I need when I need but I do not know how to do that in every situation.


Thank you.

Greetings,
Marius.

I've read all the Guix Reference Manual but with the lack of real exercises that challenge me to actually get hands on I fear that I will quickly forget the "theoretical" knowledge. Plus I'm also interested in learning all the small implementation details. I came to Guix because other distros felt to obscure on what was my OS doing, obscurity by "hardcoded" stuff. And Guix does not feel obscure but rather confusing with so much things to deal with. Maybe there is material out there that teaches and exercices Guix development from bot to top or at least some kind of hands on tutorials (like git-tutorial).
