  • guix-installer

    A GNU Guix installer image with the full Linux kernel!

  • I've been using Guix for a bit over 2 months at this point and honestly the whole 'non-free' software thing has not been an issue in the slightest. Use the System Crafters installation iso [1] to get around driver issues on install, and then the only time I've ever had the system complain to me was it warning me one of my hardware components wouldn't work (which it did, since the System Crafters ISO uses the standard Linux kernel). Afterwards, just add nonguix (and I even added Nix as well, so I get the best of both worlds!) If a package isn't in Guix and I don't want to make a package definition, I simply pull it using Nix home-manager. May not be the best or 'proper' setup, but I find it works well enough. [2]

  • nickel-nix

    Discontinued An experimental Nix toolkit to use nickel as a language for writing nix packages, shells and more. [Moved to: https://github.com/nickel-lang/organist]

  • These days those aren't the only options; you can also use Nickel: https://github.com/nickel-lang/nickel-nix

    Which isn't fully baked, no, but here's hoping.
