• About
GNU Guix is a transactional package manager for the GNU system.
The Guix System Distribution, GuixSD, is an advanced distribution
of the GNU system.
In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package
management, and per-user profiles. GuixSD offers a declarative
approach to operating system configuration management and is highly
hackable. Guix uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix package
manager, except that packages are defined as native Guile modules,
using extensions to the Scheme language.
GuixSD uses the Linux-Libre kernel and the GNU Shepherd init system.
At this stage it can be used on an i686 or x86_64 machine.
It is also possible to use Guix on top of an already installed
GNU/Linux system, including on armv7, aarch64, and mips64el.
