Let’s get in touch on +[the mailing lists and on the #guix channel on the Freenode IRC network](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/contact/)! + +# About GNU Guix + +[GNU Guix](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/) is a transactional package +manager for the GNU system. The Guix System Distribution or GuixSD is an +advanced distribution of the GNU system that relies on GNU Guix and +[respects the user's freedom](https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html). + +In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports transactional +upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management, per-user profiles, and +garbage collection. Guix uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix package manager, +except that packages are defined as native +[Guile](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/) modules, using extensions to +the [Scheme](https://schemers.org/) language. GuixSD offers a declarative +approach to operating system configuration management, and is highly customizable +and hackable. + +GuixSD can be used on an i686, x86_64 and armv7 machines. It is also possible to +use Guix on top of an already installed GNU/Linux system, including on mips64el +and aarch64.
