You can boot older generations of your system, and there is no =E2=80=9Csta= te=E2=80=9D shared between generations of your system. Any time you upgrade your system (with =E2=80=9Cguix system reconfigure /path/to/my/config.scm=E2=80= =9D) Guix builds a new, independent system. Any time you boot you can select the latest or a previous generation of your system, and when booting the selected system is initialized from scratch (it copies files from /gnu/store to /etc, creates user accounts, etc). What=E2=80=99s great about this Guix System approach in my opinion: - you have a safety net and can recover from bad upgrades - changes to the system are not permanent unless you make them so - changes to one system generation don=E2=80=99t affect older system genera= tions There is still a potential for complication when changing hardware (e.g. an old generation expecting a certain disk to appear, but you no longer have a disk with that label, so you can=E2=80=99t boot that old generation without hassle), but overall it takes the fear out of upgrading. > I installed Guix as my System because if I had installed Trisquel I > would have older software.

When you use Guix on top of Trisquel you=E2=80=99re still usi= ng a lot of software from Trisquel, which has the potential of conflicting with your software from Guix =E2=80=94 especially with search paths and environment variables that invariably end up causing Trisquel to load incompatible stuff from Guix or vice versa. --=20 Ricardo
