- striking 4y agoComparing https://wiki.systemcrafters.cc/guix/nvidia/ https://wiki.systemcrafters.cc/guix/nvidia/ with https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nvidia https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nvidia makes me think that in this specific case there's a difference.
- pxc 4y agoA question for nonguix contributors, including OP: is there a reason that nonguix has an nvidia package but not an nvidia service that handles more of this in a streamlined way, even just some stuff copied and pasted from this wiki?
- podiki 4y agoThere's an ongoing effort to smooth out the entire Nvidia process, e.g. https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix/-/issues/198 https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix/-/issues/198 has the current discussion. As anyone that has dealt with Nvidia on Linux, it is always a bit of a hassle and the effort hasn't yet happened to make it as smooth in Guix as other distros. We're getting there though.
- RaitoBezarius 4y agoWell, Guix is also mentioned when someone talks about Nix, seems fair to me (and of course, Guix may be more relevant sometimes!).
- von_lohengramm 4y agoWell, Nix was mentioned a few posts up... But in general, Guix is directly based off of Nix and is seen by many as "Nix + Guile + GNU". Is it odd to see people talking about a different BSD in a {Free,Open,Net,*}BSD thread?
- podiki 4y agoGuix is quite different from it's origins, though some of the oldest part of the daemon are still from the Nix days, if I understand. It will one day be rewritten in all Guile, presumably.
