This is to announce guix-1.5.0, a stable release.
Congratulations for the release! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Reading the article on
https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2026/gnu-guix-1.5.0-released/ I add
some extra congratulations because of the improvement in the
internal processes. This will surely have a very positive impact
on the project. :)
I was trying the previous version on a small old machine and am
using it in my production machine as package manager installed
over an old Debian. So I am not any guix expert.
However, I'm ready and about to install GUIX as the only OS on
my real production machine (i7, 16 Gb RAM, old but faithful Dell
Latitude).
So, a few questions before making the jump with the 1.5 version:
1. Assuming a complete user directory backup + a list of the
minimum software needed (i3 or similar, emacs, orgmode,
inkscape, zen browser, bitwarden, and a few more)... is it
reasonable to expect that with a full day's work I'll be working
again? (of course, full tweaking will continue for a looong
time). ;)
2. Having some professional UX experience I plan to document my
journey installing GUIX, hoping that it could be useful to make
it clearer and simpler for other new users like me in the
future. So, what is the best way to document what happened, my
thoughts and potential paths ahead? (they will not be technical,
but about cognition, information, interaction design and the
like).
3. Is there anything special and/or important to give special
attention during this installation, so it gives useful
information for the project? I have no idea what could be,
enabling some special logging, or options, or whatever.
As always, thank you all very much for sharing so much work and
dedication. I hope to be able to add my small grain of sand to
this marvelous castle. :)
Best...
