Good luck including Intel microcode updates in that..
- sham1 3y agoWell, Guix sidesteps that problem by (rightly) pointing out that Intel microcode updates are non-free software, and thus aren't included in the system. If one wants those updates, they have to do it themselves, usually by using a software channel that provides ways to use non-free software on their system, which means that the user makes a conscious choice to use non-free stuff instead of it being handed from up high. It might not be a satisfying answer, but oh well. One can complain at Intel about it.
- yencabulator 3y agoIt's extremely not satisfying in today's world where microcode updates are needed for security. So, pretty much on point for GNUy things..
