It is a sad day, at the same time I look back and realize the journey was beautiful and taught me a lot.

I am no longer running a 100% #guix system. I got tired of things breaking, being removed without warning or explanation, undocumented things, cryptic error messages.

I am but one person and cannot afford to debug stuff everyday.

I therefore took the pragmatic choice of scripting some things on top of #fedora and spread the risk, with #guix #nix #flatpak and #dnf packages.

The "systemctl soft-reboot" #systemd command is so cool blobaww
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-soft-reboot.service.html

Finally a clean way to rapidly re-start everything other than the #Linux kernel… for me, it is extremely useful to be able to do that after applying desktop & graphics stack updates, and to be able to log back in within 10 seconds.

Throwing the idea out here: it would be very nice if someone figured out a way to write a #GNOMEShell extension to provide "Soft reboot" as an alternative to cold reboot!

I was hoping to see that sort of functionality directly in #GNOMESoftware when applying system updates that don't touch the kernel, but it seems some piece of the puzzle is missing here (maybe a hybrid of #systemd's "soft-reboot" and #DNF's "system-upgrade"): https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues/2427
