If you’re OK with using non-free/libre software I reccomend the systemcrafters install guide

https://systemcrafters.net/craft-your-system-with-guix/full-system-install/

I donate to a few things (eff, fsf, Mozilla, kvaesitso, my Lemmy instance, tasks.org) but want to donate to more (guix, keepassdx, syncthing, eternity, maybe some others).

Oh nice.

The lame ones can’t!

Oh pretty cool!

Is there anything that doesn’t run linux lol?

How many hoops (if any) did you have to jump through to install?

Linux is great for reserecting old hardware! I had an old gaming pc I built back in 2009 (had to replace graphics card) onto which I installed guix. Now I have a raid 1 store, samba network share, and jellyfin server!

It really seems like the future or some variation of it.

True, then I’d be screwed. But, because my system config is declared in a single file (plus a file for channels) i could re-install my system and be back in business relatively quickly. There’s also guix home but I haven’t had a chance to try that.

Me too. Additionally, I use guix so if a system update ever broke my machine I can just rollback to a prior system version (either via the command line or grub menu).

I’ve had a similar experience with Guix.

Never used nix but it’s goals are similar to guix. Worth checking out if you ever get extra hw.

Gnu Guix. By default Guix uses only free libre software, but there are ways to install it with a non-free kernal. Systemcrafters has a guide (this is what I used) as well as non-guix (guix repo for non free software).
