  • I haven’t used Guix system (as OS) but using it on top of Arch has been… Cool at least?

    I can’t speak for it’s reliability or reproducibility that much since I haven’t encountered issues yet. It’s hard to grasp, and hard to setup, and needs a lot of time and network bandwidth but it’s cool. I like adding my packages to a manifest so I know what is installed and when.

    1. FOSS. I’m a software engineer and making the world a better place and helping others is why I love my job and what I study. FOSS is the thing that can make tge world a better place and help others.

    I also have a plethora of technical reasons, but I’m sure others will cover them. Just this ideological and philosophical reason is enough for me to be using Linux.










  • Thank you! Sorry for the cloud error, the server’s origin website is hosted in my country Iran, which is currently in a semi-blackout and very bad internet distruptions. Very sad.

    You might see the blog if you try a couple times more, I can see it with most VPNs.

    I completely agree with your points. I’m stating the same sentiment in the blog.

    I prefer GUIs for two things:

    1. Things that are inherently graphical (gimp, blender, etc)
    2. Things that I don’t use very often, and the GUI is too simple to be bothered with a cli.
