@bubstance @wx1g I'm not able to run the pure FOSS variant due to missing drivers, but the #nonguix channel includes the full Linux kernel and other proprietary parts necessary for my hardware. You won't find any references to this channel many places out of respect for the libre aspect of GNU though.

@chjara If this is about guix, then I can recommend nonguix (https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix) as a supplement for non-free things. With nonguix most of the pain should go away. People in #nonguix and #guix on libera.chat are very helpful generally.

میشه تو نصاب #گیکس #sway رو انتخاب کرد. اوپن سوزه برنامه های از پیش نصب شده ی زیادی داره ولی گیکس نه. گیکس انتخاب بهتریه فقط یه ایراد میمونه اونم اینه که ثابت افزار بلوتوثم چون انحصاریه تو گیکس نیست ولی اوپن سوزه هست که اونم شاید بشه توی #nonguix پیدا کرد.

OK. I've got #emacs 29 (emacs-next-pgtk) and mastodon.el working under #guix.

I'm guessing that installing exwm as a package means that I have an emacs 28 tied to that?

I'm not enitrely happy with how this is set up, but at least I have something workable now.

The fediverse seems to be a pretty good place to get #nonguix advice beyond the Free #guix advice. Where else is a good place to ask questions that go beyond just libre things in a guix installation?

(thanks for everyone who helped me get to this place. Once I figure out what I've actually done to get it working I'll write things up a bit more.

@al1r4d No. And you should avoid proprietary software for your own freedom's sake. However if you really need nonfree software, check out #Nonguix. Do note that nonfree software are also security threats.
