I went insane, askin= g the questions already answered and kept repeating them. So I could not g= et past the partition phase. * The Nouveau driver for my Nvidia graphics card detected a slightly off res= olution for my 4k monitor and at 30hz (not 60). The installation of proprietary Nvidia ve= rsion seemed too daunting... * I struggled to find an installable web browser that had WebRTC (for online= conferences), which was IceCat. I wonder if that's pretty much the only c= hoice for someone who needs precompiled code (because compiling a web browse= r seems to take a long tome) Guix seems very interesting with Scheme and all but I had to go back to NixO= S. =F0=9F=98=85
