    Damn that sounds great! Build from source when needed too, this means everything will just run?

    I am curious about using the linux libre kernel, as modern hardware doesnt often even support / has a ported to coreboot.

    I have a Clevo NV41MZ next to me and I will soooon coreboot it. Also a Thinkpad T430. One will get Nitrokeys heads (as it seems to be updated better, or I should just compile heads) and the other one Dasharo.

    But these firmwares both require blobs, still wayy better than proprietary firmware, but just to see how crazy this is, all these machines everyone uses are proprietary unupdated garbage.

    Really curious about Guix, want to try it out. I really like Flatpaks now as I am on Fedora Kinoite, so nearly every distro will just work for me as long as its modern and has Wayland and systemd I guess

      It’s kind of similar to the AUR, if someone writes a script to build a program for Guix you can install it. Either from the official repo or a third party one.

      The blobs in Linux and the blobs in your BIOS are different. Coreboot support isn’t linked to linux-libre support, but modern devices can often be quite difficult.

      Guix uses shepherd as it’s init system, so you might not like it. I think the init scripts are written in GNU Guile, but I haven’t played around with that.
