They do very different things even if the outcome is the same. You are not rollingback your system by downgrading each package. You are statefully changing your filesystem. Rollbacks in Nix and Guix are internet free, atomic and reproducible because they amount to changing the target of a single symlink
I guess you are not entitled free support once you execute a free program
I think functional distros like Guix or Nix are just another thing. Their ability of programming , provisioning and deploying software environments is unparalleled. My personal favorite is Guix since, while having less packages than Nix, it has the most consistent experience: everything is in Scheme from the top to the bottom of the distro. Also it pushes really hard on a sane bootstrapping story while allowing for impurity through channels like nonguix .
The main downside is the lack of tutorials and a documentation that's very intense, let's say. typical of GNU projects. I suggest the System Crafters youtube channel which has a lot of nice tutorials
imho having a more accessible contribution workflow would increase the number of people interested in spending time in reviewing.
Regardless of the many problems of web forges today the ability to review only what's changed between the various revisions of a pull request and the comments in a single view is not achievable with a simple email workflow. You end up reimplementing the PR/MR functionality with other tools, exactly as is happening with the Guix QA tools. I love them but we're reimplementing gitlab/gitea/codeberg by parsing patch revisions from emails subjects.
it's not like it's easy contributing to guix :( i really hope they move to something more accessible
If you don't have commit access you don't need an account. I contributed many times without ever registering on Savannah.
Yes and if you like lisp or FSDG compliance have a look at Guix
Working Screensharing from first boot lmao
Just use lisp
No. They are not equal and neither same. If you understand Italian I suggest you to search for Prof. Barbero videos on the topic. They are quite better than anything I'll be able to convey.
Fascism:
It's an authoritarian dictatorship happened between 1914 and 1945 in Italy. The fascist regime and ideology was strictly based on Mussolini's figure, people marched in straight lines down the streets, everyone wearing the same uniforms and Italy was a great imperialist nation (lol jk it wasn't but they quite believed it). Fascism and the fascist party stopped existing after partisans overthrew the regime. Fascism is a 20 years long dictatorship. After that there were some regimes around the world that were inspired by Mussolini such as the current ruling party Italy Fratelli d'Italia, Marine le Pen's party in France, those shitty AFD in Germany, orban's Regime, franco in Spain etc etc. They are called neofascists, because Fascism was a 20 years long regime happened in Italy between 1914 and 1945.
Communism:
Communism is a model of governace that's never been achieved in human history, as someone above said it's about classless, stateless, governance models. It's been around for like 200 years (the Communist Party Manifesto is from 1848), and in every country of the world there is/ has been a Communist Party and as we know they were always persecuted for being communist, stopped from going to the government and stopped from bulding a classless society when they managed to get to govern. Just see what the USA did in the last 50/60 years in every country that risked a communist government: Chile and latin America in general, Italy and so on an so forth.
Fascism =/= communism, and if you say the contrary you just don't know how they work.
My guess would be that it's not a property of the kernel, it's a property of the software distribution you build upon that kernel. The same way you can distribute software for Linux with Guix, Nix, APT, RPM, Flatpak, I suppose in the Redox world you could distribute software and deploy systems in many different ways.
A little too pitchy imho. It is just a regular linux distro with each system update creating a new fs snapshots .
Just use Nix/Guix lmao
