From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You should try NixOS, it's pretty cool.
Don't listen to this guy, use GNU Guix.
Real Linux users only use Hannah Montana linux. 😎
That's old and unmaintained.
You should switch to RebeccaBlackOS
Maybe. I'm busy right now.
I might do it later. Maybe I'll do it on

Real talk, I want to try Guix but I have not successfully installed it on any hardware, including VMs. This includes with nonguix for proprietary drivers and stuff. I can never get past install, it always just craps out on some substitution thing. Am I just stupid?
So what happens, does it just not boot? Any error messages?
Tried, but it didn't support my disk encryption, LUKS2. I intended to stick Guix in a BTRFS subvolume, but didn't succeed.
