It can get even funnier when Chris Baines replaces the Nix daemon with a new implementation in Guile. Then, the NIH argument can be reused instead.

That's a great compliment as I think the core vision of GNU is that all software should be free ( https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/shouldbefree.en.html >). Although keeping software …

Have you tried reading the code? It's twice as large (107KLOC) as ext4 (45KLOC), where ext4 is viewed as a natural evolution of ext2 (7KLOC). 45KLOC of C code already sounds really…

GNU is not an ecosystem (see https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.en.html#Ecosys... >), it's a philosophy. Yes, it's old. Yes, there's only little interest. Yes, there are…

Hurd does not support USB devices, officially, just yet, but these are surely exciting times. Unless maybe you're a capitalist ;-) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2023-…

What I don't understand is why people are so willing to install and run opaque binary blobs, even is it's from/supporting free software-hostile Evil Corp. I've been running GNU Gui…

Ah no, there is no competition, at least not yet ;) Stage0---of with cc_x86.c is a part---as a project started off from the bottom (hex0) and is working up. When stage0 just starte…

NixOS is an awesome system and Guix owes much to it and its creator, @edolstra. Although GNU Guix is my personal preference, I believe that NixOS is an excellent choice and for the…

I have been using GNU Guix for over 4 years now on a modern Dell laptop (exchanged the WIFI card to keep my freedom), two older thinkpads, home server. Since three years our develo…

For those who are not into free software, or do not believe in user freedom, I believe there's already an excellent choice of software options, many of which will also sell your pr…
