Re: Guix learning exercices

[Michael Dahlberg <dahlberg+guix@recursoft.org>]

No practical exercises that I'm aware of, but David Wilson at systemcrafters.net and his youtube site has a lot of fantastic practical information on Guix.  Also, one of the best videos on Guix I've seen was done by Steve George (futurile) and his site has some really good practical information.

My suggestion would be to just dive in and start installing it (get David Wilson's customized ISO) and work through the problems.  When you have problems, ask people here.  They really seem happy to help.

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).
