<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>So, I tried it. I like the fundamental ideas, but it lacks documentation for beginners, even for beginners with some experience in other distros. - There's a video how to install programs and rollback. Good. - I can't find any entry point for how to understand how to configure the system. I'm not talking about learning Scheme, but how to even find and open a config file. I'm sure it written down somewhere, certainly not easy to find. - I mean such things like configure services. I assume the devs wanted a clean system, but finding hints in the common places where config files are in other distros would help a lot. The service command also doesn't work and doesn't give a hint what else to do. - The "Documentation" suggests using 'info -k <name>' to find more infos. These infos are then wrong or cryptic. The info on "Networking Services" tells me that the default ?config-file? for dhcpd-configuration is ?#f?. Okay. That aside, it would also be great to find that with 'man dhcpd'. - There are certain things beginners have problems with, for example how to configure their network. So finding a step by step tutorial how to do that is a fundamental thing. Such things also help to understand the system by example. - The journal on systems with SystemD give me much more infos than Shepherd does, or I haven't found the right way to do it. The man pages are rather brief.</p> <p>Letting one person with some experience in some other distro test the system, while writing down the difficulties and then fixing them, would make the system much more useable. Currently it's the only distro where I can't even get a live system running or installing it, since I need a internet connection for that but but I can't configure it.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/botfiddler"> /u/botfiddler </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GUIX/comments/p6jr6e/getting_started_in_2021/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GUIX/comments/p6jr6e/getting_started_in_2021/">[comments]</a></span> |
