   @se7en Without any knowledge or context, my go-to solution would be to parallel-install Nix or Guix and try to get it working there. ;-)

     @clacke Guix seems nice, the first true GNU system. However it is broken at the moment.

     @se7en @clacke Sounds like a GNU system, allright.

     @se7en Broken? I'm using it. I admit I haven't installed #GuixSD 0.11 from scratch.

     @clacke It's beta and I heard things...Still, GNU Hurd is not done being developed (expected to reach production-ready in 2020) so since Hurd will be the kernel used for Guix, I asusme that Guix will not be finished until then. Right now it's using Linix-Libre, correct?

     @se7en #Guix will be considered production-ready before the #Hurd. Using a GNU kernel is not an important use case.

     Y'all know multiple other groups have shipped fast, free microkernels already, right? http://genode.org http://sel4.systems

     @xj9 @se7en Yes. https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/history/port_to_another_microkernel.html

     @xj9 @se7en Hurd is not the microkernel, Mach is "finished" to some extent. Hey, even OSX uses a version of it. Hurd is the services on it.
