It works on my end, but I might have tried much later than you did, & I wonder where s the All Packages link mentionned above @hhh

Yup, working now.

The "ALL PACKAGES" button is on the homepage in the "Discover Guix" section, and leads to the same link you posted.

I'm not understanding the landing page, though, it just shows a bunch of fonts. Weird way to advertise 27,000 packages.

Western Digital model: WD10JPVX-75JC3T0
size: 931.51 GiB speed: 6.0 Gb/s tech: HDD rpm: 5400

This drive (laptop) will be used for every day use. The distros on it now will most likely not get replaced because I am satisfied with them and I have not found any other distro that in my opinion measures up to what they do for me. I have two spare laptops, one of those is used for testing distros and the other just messing around with. It hardly ever gets used.

Appreciate the comeback sir, WD s are pretty good drives, it s good when one has his favorite distros installed.

Currently, installing Gentoo again. Been at is since Sunday morning, now Monday evening (not the whole time but all day Sunday and since 4pm Monday).

Feels like its take a lot longer this time.

Yeah, don't do that. I'm sure for you, and for over 90% of Linux users, it would be high-risk/low reward, and if you got it installed the ghost joke wouldn't be funny.

Sector11 · 2024-05-15 04:19:58

Nope not for me. Seen enough ghosts thank you.

In case anyone is interested, yesterday siduction
published new (test)iso's, with the t64 transition largely over.

Besides the sources, manifest, md5 and sha256 these are the iso's

-kde
-xfce
-xorg (with fluxbox)
-and the nox (without X, with 1.1GB size my favorite), because I have been installing openbox; labwc; dk or sway on it for about 1 year and thus have the latest from Debian. Maybe I'll also try hyprland... But, labwc I'm not done yet and have taken it very much to my heart.

hyprland on the basis of siduction-nox, installed this morning. Took ~110 minutes, without errors.

From here:

Thanks!

Outside of the questionnaire from the script, there were also 103 wallpapers in the 110 minutes at the end, which I accepted and which amounted to ~670MB alone.

The wallpaper changes live and rolls out from top right to bottom left. Depending on the character of the wallpaper, the waybar also changes according to the theme. Very cool.
Overall, the desktop system is completely updated with Hyprland by re-executing the script. There is a lot to explore.

BTW, I don't have nvidia.
I still want to test this on a laptop with nvidia.

Now that's asking for OOPS!
