And I recently experimented with WSL2 and WSLG on Windows 11, running on a 5-year-old Surface Book.
Ubuntu works quite well on it and I can run Linux GUI applications from Windows and run Windows applications, like Excel and Powershell, from Linux. So this indicates there is a high likelihood Guix will be a decent enterprise package manager, as long as the users' IT department allows WSL on enterprise-managed Windows PCs. (which may be a hurdle too much to ask for though😅) Sorry I have been wanting to follow up more but I have been too busy setting up our worker coop in Japan😅 -Yasu > On Aug 26, 2022, at 03:37, Olivier Dion <olivier.d...@polymtl.ca> wrote: > > On Mon, 15 Aug 2022, Phil <p...@beadling.co.uk> wrote: >> Yasuaki Kudo writes: > >> However, I am interested in seeing Guix and Guix services >> gaining a foothold in the commercial space, and exchanging ideas > > I see a lot of potential there: > > - Continuous integration > - VM generation and deployment with OpenStack > - Container generation and deployment with K8s > - Root filesystem generation for embedded systems (e.g. Yocto, Elbe) > >> as well as growing it in academia too. > > As a student, here's how I have been using Guix on the academic side: > > - CI (cuirass) of developed tools > - Reproducible workflow for my research > - guix-shell + manifests for volatile laboratories environment > - Automatic correction of student's work submission (similar to a CI) > > In all, Guix is a very powerful/flexible tool when in good hands and > everyone in the field would gain from mass adoption of it.
