Hi,
bo0od <bo0od@riseup.net> skribis:
Did you try the graphical installation?
https://guix.gnu.org/en/videos/system-graphical-installer/
It’s key strokes rather than clicks, but I think it addresses most of
the issues you describe.
Yes i do know this, But whats different between what guix is doing and
others are doing (examples i gave above), They give you access to GUI
of their distro without internet and from within this live GUI access
to the distro you can configure the internet/partition..etc (easily
specially for first time users) using GUI tools without internet (you
can even test the distro without the need to install it)
Letting users use GUI (or non-GUI) tools by themselves doesn’t look
appealing to me. We made the choice to provide a guided installer,
similar to that of Debian and other distros, such that users don’t have
to figure out by themselves that they need to run gparted, follow steps,
etc.
Thats what im requesting not what is currently happening.
Did you try the live VM image?
https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/
What? where?
Search for “QEMU”.
I’m closing because I don’t see anything actionable. Please file issues
focused on specific problems.
Guix need to improve itself when first time initiated, Please check
other projects like NixOS,Triskel,Mint,Ubuntu...etc
I contributed to NixOS long ago, and unless things have changed, it
doesn’t have a guided installer.
If you dont like that live graphical gui access, then do it as debian
is doing it which give you proper gui screen specifically intended to
configure your internet then you can proceed with the installation.
So I guess your primary request is about giving access to the GUIs.
That comes at a cost (the ISO is already quite big) but that’s something
we could consider.
For now, our focus is on improving the guided installer itself.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
