Loverginembox@lovergine.com2026-10-25T11:30:00Z<p>Yesterday I gave an introductory talk on Guix as a package manager in the context of foreign distributions, specifically Debian. I illustrated the main characteristics of the system for absolute beginners in the context of transactional and functional packaging systems. I returned after some years to the LinuxDay event with a technical presentation.</p><p><img src="/images/ld2026.jpg" alt="A view of one of the rooms, photo by Michele Rizzato" /> <em>(Ph. Michele Rizzato)</em></p><p>In my latest presentations at such events, I have always preferred more political and general-purpose topics. It's been nice to return with a <em>for-nerds-only</em> theme, a giant leap back to the past.</p><p>The slides of the talk (italian only) are available <a href="/downloads/LD2026-guix.pdf">here</a>.</p>
