I’m planning on building a PC soon and, while I have done plenty of research, I’d like to hear advice from people who have experience in the area personally. It’s also just nice talking to other people in general, lol

    Ooo never heard of Guix, just did a little research on it. I am looking to switch to a declarative distro as well. I seem to have the same tendency of breaking shit when playing around with different packages and running different projects locally. I have been looking at NixOS, have you heard of it and if so, why did you choose GUIX over it?

      I’m looking into getting into lisp as I switched to Emacs as well. Lisp declaration files make more sense to me as it might be that I want to declare my setup programmatically. Also it’s very radical about the software it offers being free. Like extremely so, you might have some issues with drivers if the official ones have binary blobs. So definitely take that under advisement as well. It does work with nvidia graphics well enough though I haven’t stress tested it really.

        Ahh that is something to consider, I’ll have to take a second look at that distro good luck on your journey learning lisp!
