As the title says, I tried Guix for half a day 😅
I wanted to let you know that:
* Graphical installer run from a USB stick was broken. I went insane, asking the questions already answered and kept repeating them. So I could not get past the partition phase.
* The Nouveau driver for my Nvidia graphics card detected a slightly off resolution for my
4k monitor and at 30hz (not 60). The installation of proprietary Nvidia version 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 choice for someone who needs precompiled code (because compiling a web browser seems to take a long tome)
Guix seems very interesting with Scheme and all but I had to go back to NixOS. 😅
