I’ve been using an Olimex Olinuxino for years on my home network with Armbian and I would looooove to have Guix System running on it. I gave it a try… several times over the years, but failed. 😞 This has been discussed in several threads: - [Cannot install Guix System on A20-OLinuXino-LIME2](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2024-12/msg00021.html) - [Building a bootable disk image for A20-OLinuXino](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-01/msg00217.html) - [`guix pull` fails on A20-OLinuXino-LIME2-eMMC](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2024-11/msg00142.html) - [GuixSD on Olimex A20 OLinuXino?](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-01/msg00362.html) On Thu Nov 27, 2025 at 8:19 AM CET, Chris wrote: > I am currently experimenting with guix on SBCs as well.

Updating by running `guix system image` and writing/swapping a SDCard would be even better than trying to install it on Armbian or updating it "in place". And I would also happily spend a few coins on a SBC that can run Guix System. … and few others for one that can run Guix System/Hurd, but that’s a totally different topic! 😁 Regards, -- Tanguy
