2026-01-12 build of my Guix System LiveCDs is out!

Source, usage and downloads are available in https://codeberg.org/hako/Testament (see the LiveCDs section). This build is from commit 12b811db05e1.

In the next build I plan to rework the LiveCDs, integrate guided installer from Guix and add a NVIDIA variant. Hopefully by then I'll be able to update the images monthly, no ETA though 😉

Finished reworking the LiveCDs! Now there're two variants:

  • Default
  • HiDPI, with a larger console font

No NVIDIA variant, since nouveau + firmware is suffcient for the installation task.

Updated the "LiveCDs" section of . New images are now placed in Guix Moe's storage. When updating, changes to links and channels.lock will be in the same commit.

The new images provide similiar experience to the official one, additionally with:

  • substitutes from Guix Moe, to speed up downloading in slow regions (within the LiveCDs, not added to the installed system)
  • Linux and Linux LTS kernel options
  • fish shell for manual installation
  • simple desktop environment built around niri on tty7

The set-keymap script now also works with the installer: when setting keyboard layout in the installer, it's also applied to other ttys and niri's configuration.

Here're a few issues that may affect the experience and should be avoided if you want to install now:
