Is Guix a cleaner base for a NixOS alternative ?
Sadly no AFAIK, even ignoring the licensing issues.
I was just thinking about switching to Nix, but I have no idea what to choose now.
You should learn the nix lang, flakes, zero to nix, etc and try not to get bogged down in the Nix/Aux stuff. Be prepared to wait for things to settle down on that side.
Ok, but why? Forking generally means you are unhappy with something but no one is saying what.
There’s been some controversy around the governance structure and culture with NixOS that has a number of people unhappy. I’m honestly not sure of the details but it’s ptesumably less about the software than the people.
I read somewhere that there was some drama about identity politics.
Sounds like a awesome fork, can’t wait!
