Sitting on a broken install of it now. It was working fine for a couple of years, but because I'm just playing with it ATM, I don't get back to it often enough. The latest guix pull has left me with a guix system reconfigure... that errors out :(

Former. Migrated to linux 20+ years ago because of...Flash support. Didn't realize back then how quickly Flash would disappear and FreeBSD only supported it via its linux binary compatibility, which stopped working at that time.

I got it once I looked up what a Hoth is.

Guix

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!

I call it AI-washing. And, yes, it's annoying.
