Maybe use btrfs, which has reduplication and compression capabilities. I never tried it in Guix but it's like magic.

This looks like a problem with the image. But I can try as soon as I am back home.

That's what I mean with distrobox. You decide to run distribution A. Later you realize a package(program) is not available in A but in distribution B. So you run distrobox and have B on top of A. And access to all the packages.

Whenever somebody recommends NixOS, I just want to spam the comments with Guix. I prefer configs I can understand, and I think lisp makes that easier. Other than syntax, the only thing I see is people complaining about the free-oftware-only. But the recently hyped distrobox solves that (together with the nonguix repo). Yet nobody recommends guix in all these "immutable" distro threads.

In my opinion Guix is the best mix of:

  • Arch (rolling release),

  • NixOS ("immutable", atomic updates , rollback, reproducible, declarative configs)

  • Gentoo (source code based, write your own package definitions for any source code you find),

with some lispy syntax.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. A scientist is on a mission to save the world. The science stuff is accurate and easy to understand in my opinion (but I'm a physicist, lol).

The author also wrote the Martian, that was adapted as a movie, you probably know it.

My colleague recommends it to everyone, and she reads a lot. I read a little and also liked it. Not only because of the science, but also because of the story.

Everybody is recommending to not install Manjaro. Try EndeavourOS instead. Or just pure arch. That's what I will probably do soon.

Was pretty easy to setup in Manjaro a year ago. Can't say how it is now, I'm using hyprland now.

If you talk about a physical keyboard that is plugged into your steam deck: have a look at eurkey

I think about words and their etymology a lot. Of course many words have their origin in Latin. And then I am amazed how they used kind of the the same word ~2k years ago.
