The fact that you get a full OS for free, customizable and no crappy forced in features that you don’t want is amazing.
I can stress enough that my experience with Linux has been resoundingly positive, it’s almost like that finnish bill gates guy made a golden goose of an OS.
Ever since I upgraded my WiFi to pcie and moved to Fedora, it has been nothing but smooth sailing.
• AMD GPU just works, no fussing about, get straight to fragging on Xonotic and Counter Strike
•Customize Fedora to my liking, made it more like windows with the extensions provided
• What’s this? A software app store? Swell! I no longer need to download stuff off from dodgy sites or numbingly installing everything manually!
• The mascot of Linux? 10/10 and penguins are one of my 2nd favourite animals
How was your experience with this Unix-like wonder? In a home user manner and/or a business use manner?
Let me know!

Ah yeah, I’m in the same situation. My daily driver is arch, but at some point I came across guix and installed it on an old laptop for when I feel like computering in front of the tv or something. Somehow I’ve even gotten yubi keys to be recognized and usable, but I really feel like someone needs to write an intro to the system-level APIs. The official documentation often feels like it assumes a lot more understanding of this than I do, and I haven’t figured out a way to wrap my head around it.
Since it’s not mission critical for me though, it’s been a fun experience!

Yeah it sucks that Node is on a 2 year old version. I ended up just using a Docker container for that stuff. Weird that Guix has some packages years out of date while others are always bleeding edge.

Yooo rare fellow Guix user. After a while Guix motivated me to learn Scheme. IMO easiest way is to just read the first chapter of SICP, its only about 60 pages.
