But now, with hindsight, it's not obvious to me anymore what can be fixed in the manual. I believe the reason for this is simply that Guix and all its concepts are a lot to take for newcomers, it's simply too hard to digest even after multiple readings. It takes time and practice. A well written manual might not be the only answer we are looking for. How do we teach complex concepts in schools? With examples and exercises. Maybe we should do that. Blog articles could be a good fit. My two cents :) =2D-=20 Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEUPM+LlsMPZAEJKvom9z0l6S7zH8FAlzS1mMACgkQm9z0l6S7 zH/+bAf/ZqQpPrTaVw48KaK6kaC7bXec1R/C8OrTbZOWAitp4vq+pYBAdfSDNimb quU7HtlkZoX9t95tT88w9QUeCwpLIzVQAFIo9j3up6O6qrDuHulYTrmz6qKi7GF2 I/89Tx95XsFR1tWK+o9A7sbVvATr6jIy494dCIOhLGcPcwcIwXtU0sg7Wmih3Yyt cWKZbWIc7+4i40kGufMjw2LlsncIdRosnxUvK70KV9LRXzuP26Afx0J2IeW0EeKw zmaWqO5SIlKq+pSR7FZ6gzk3mGwfTvqCAFqwyLn2Mnb8CBfAqqbTT5Km6JYXi1XW DWN79UiyFcoDjmiSz9luZSWlBLxItA== =iDKw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
