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 proprietary or writing proprietary…
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 scary to me, although yeah, journaling…
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 _still_ many technical problems. The…
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/2023-06/msg00158...>

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 Guix, which uses Linux-Libre--i.e., no…
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 started, I created GNU Mes soon to be folowed…
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 most part we have a shared vision. If…
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 development team at work uses Guix; the…
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 privacy. You will not find GNU to…
