There's a trend, with #Meta and #palantir

Get a libre #gnulinux distro as #guix as your daily driver, better if you choose #xfce or #kde as your desktops, avoid selecting #gnome in the instsaller. Use #9front as the proper Unix/computer science thinkering. If you can run vmx under #9front (modern 64 bit Intel machines), install #guix under it and just use the browser for #Javascript if your goverment chores -taxes nad the like- mandates it. Then purge its configuration.

On #digitalrights I agree with #lunduke but not for the rest of #israel whitewashing.

On #systemd and #age requeriments and #potential user surveillance:

Stay the f*ck away from #gnome, #wayland and #systemd. #dbus it's s pest too, but at least you can fake machine-id at boot with trivial ease.

@vavakado @lukasrotermund the problem is that they are really bound to #gnome and with #systemd and #flatpak convergence its days are numbered on any non-systemd distro, from #guix to anything else. And Trisquel will just follow Debian->Ubuntus path but deblobbed, so the only #GNU distro free of AI would be #guix as #LLM s output are *never* reproducible.

@mmby @eniko

As a glenda user I feel the same, and maybe a future #guix install once they replace that nonfree-by-default malware called Linux with the actual GNU kernel, Hurd (and FDo crap vendored by #IBM) and being developing a forked xdg-crap alternative to #GNOME/#KDE and the like. Here a jitted Guile+some UI based desktop -GTK4 is doomed- as the original Gnome did with Sawfish (another Lisp based VM) would be great for the user freedom.

As a 9front users I have no issues with either an awk+rc approach (or s9 scheme) + 9p based tools,
Im used to Scheme after all, I can easily pipe stuff
written in s9 into aux/* or gview(1). Having to use some non 9front OS for $GOVERMENT pages is a chore but at least I can control the pests I get in my NUC.
