Adding a resource page to collect all the #guix content together:
- installing / intro to guix
- installing common applications
- managing profiles
- using guix shell / dev environments
- packaging for guix
- community resources

If you're interested in #functional and #declarative #programming and want to see how it works with #linux then there's plenty here. Or you're into #nix but would like to see how #guix uses #guile #scheme - there should be plenty here! 😃
New post in the #Guix packaging series! All about how inputs (libraries and utilities) that are needed to build a package are defined. Covers inputs, native-inputs and propagated-inputs. And, how to create your own package variants using modify-inputs - we slim down Weechat by 50% as a worked example 🎆

Not sure about how it compares to #nix, but for #guix this is a key area of packaging - hope all the examples make sense!

Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
