Public Channels

Guix Resources
- Guix: transactional package manager and Linux distribution
- Main Web site, the instructional videos are quick and worth watching.
- Guix manual
- The Guix manual provides detailed instructions on all aspects of Guix. Reading this is practically a test for whether someone will enjoy Guix: if the detail and formal structure speaks to you then you'll enjoy Guix - if it feels like too much then it's probably better to look at something else in my opinion.
- Bootstrappable Builds
- Many of the developers who focus on Linux distributions, and those that work on Guix in particular are interested in reproducibility and consequently the Bootstrap problem. This is a small site talking about the problem and the current state of play.
