I'm a NixOS user and seriously considering at least trying out GuixSD.
Does GuixSD come with Plasma desktop and other KDE assortments? My lazy google-fu is failing me, and the installer video does not list is as option.
I also have an Nvidia Optimus laptop so I assume I'll be using nonguix repo and building non free kernel, but that can be tolerated. If anyone uses nonguix kernel/nvidia, can you please tell me how long of build times I should be expecting? I have an i5 8th gen.
- eointierney 5y agoRecommended to install a non-free repo such as https://gitlab.com/mbakke/guix-nonfree https://gitlab.com/mbakke/guix-nonfree for wifi and KDE etc.. Otherwise it's great if not as mature as Nix. Guile is nice and shepherd is cool
- alekq 5y agoAFAIK there is no KDE/Plasma for Guix and correct link for nonguix/guix-nonfree is https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix Also, I think you can use the non-libre linux kernel build from substitutes instead building one yourself.
- e3bc54b2 5y agoI like plasma, but compiling even a subset of it might be overkill for my needs. Any particular reason why plasma is not upstreamed if not for lack of interest/contribution?
