Good to have this feedback. If we have some sort of a hands-on session, we’ll try to have good videos, though I guess it’s hard to make good videos from in-person sessions. We’ll see! Did you look at some of the videos at <https://gnu.org/s/guix/help/#talks>? These are clearly not tutorials, but there are demos, and I wonder how useful that is as a complement to the manual(s). Thanks, Ludo’.
