> Guix should lean into this one major strength and put out an Emacs-centered heavily opinionated installer image that uses EXWM for its window manager. Wat? While I live in Emacs I find it a terrible disservice to Guix to focus on this tiny niche. I'm probably biased, but one of the major strengths of Guix is its wealth of R packages that are all built reproducibly. Ask different people about what they think is Guix's major strength and you'll get different answers, because Guix is pretty great in a lot of areas. The installer script has seen some recent improvements and the interactive system installer as well. The annoying locales thing has also seen an unusual solution recently, so we're approaching a state where the initial impression lives up to the amazing day to day performance of Guix for package, environment, and system management.
