|Full description='''GNU Guix is a purely functional package manager for the GNU system, and a distribution thereof.'''
+
|Full description='''Guix''' is a transactional package manager and an advanced distribution of the GNU operating system. It can be used on top of any system running the [[Hurd]] or the [[linux-libre|Linux kernel]], or it can be used as a standalone operating system distribution for i686, x86_64, ARMv7, AArch64 and powerpc64le machines. It can also cross compile applications for these architectures/OS combination and Windows 32/64 bit (mingw-w64), GNU/Linux mips64el, PowerPC 32/64 bit big endian, RiscV64. Support for Android [https://lepiller.eu/en/guix-on-android.html is  unofficial].
  
−
Guix is based on the [[Nix]] package manager.
+
In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management, per-user profiles, and garbage collection. When used as a standalone GNU/Linux distribution, Guix offers a declarative, stateless approach to operating system configuration management. Guix is highly customizable and hackable through [[Guile]] programming interfaces and extensions to the Scheme language.

|Documentation note=GNU Guix comes with a visual user interface for [[GNU Emacs]], known as '''guix.el'''. It can be used for routine package management tasks, pretty much like the guix package command (see [https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Invoking-guix-package.html#Invoking-guix-package Invoking guix package]). Specifically, “guix.el” makes it easy to:

 +
=== The Guix package manager ===
 +
This [https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/plain/etc/guix-install.sh shell installer script] is recommended to install Guix on top of a running GNU/Linux system. The script automates the download, installation, and initial configuration of Guix. It should be run as the root user.
 +
 
 +
When installed on a foreign distro, GNU Guix complements the available tools without interference. Its data lives exclusively in two directories, usually ''/gnu/store'' and ''/var/guix''; other files on your system, such as ''/etc'', are left untouched.  
 +
 
 +
Once installed, Guix can be updated by running <code>guix pull</code>. See [https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-pull.html#Invoking-guix-pull invoking guix pull].
 +
 
 +
More information at https://guix.gnu.org/manual/
 +
 
 +
=== The Guix operating system distribution ===
 +
The latest Guix System release comes with ISO-9660 installation images, a virtual machine image, and with tarballs to install the package manager on top of any GNU/Linux distros, either from source or from binaries. Guix users can update by running <code>guix pull</code>.
 +
 
 +
Guix is a fully free distro designed to improving the freedom and autonomy of computer users. Users can install their own packages without interfering with each other, yet without unnecessarily increasing disk usage or rebuilding every package. Users can in fact create as many software environments as they like.

* browse and display packages and generations;

GNU Guix

https://guix.gnu.org/
An advanced GNU/Linux distro and a purely functional package manager.

Guix is a transactional package manager and an advanced distribution of the GNU operating system. It can be used on top of any system running the Hurd or the Linux kernel, or it can be used as a standalone operating system distribution for i686, x86_64, ARMv7, AArch64 and powerpc64le machines. It can also cross compile applications for these architectures/OS combination and Windows 32/64 bit (mingw-w64), GNU/Linux mips64el, PowerPC 32/64 bit big endian, RiscV64. Support for Android is unofficial.

In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management, per-user profiles, and garbage collection. When used as a standalone GNU/Linux distribution, Guix offers a declarative, stateless approach to operating system configuration management. Guix is highly customizable and hackable through Guile programming interfaces and extensions to the Scheme language.
