Added an example.
Also the dev communities care about slightly different things. They match my tastes, we find the same kinds of things cool, so I've found nothing but joy in Guix. One matter of practical impact is how they prioritize blurring the line between user and contributor -- "uplifting" users into contributors as much as possible. I saw that as the biggest flaw of Gentoo, it was very hard to even know how to start contributing.
- Blikkentrekker 5y agoPerhaps you should try Exherbo then. They take the opposite approach and insist that all users be contributors and are often unwilling to provide support to users that aren't at least somewhat contributing back. Their dream is a system where all users are contributors.
- medstrom 5y agohttps://www.exherbo.org/ https://www.exherbo.org/ That does sound nice. I'd like to know how it differs from Guix.
- Blikkentrekker 5y agoIt's package manager is more so similar to Portage; and it can in fact be used on Gentoo as an alternative thereto.
- geeksix 5y ago> they prioritize blurring the line between user and contributor -- "uplifting" users into contributors as much as possible Can you explain more about this? How do they uplift?
