  • I’m not the op, but I’ve been using guix for several months on a new fairly top of the line desktop PC and it’s going great. I’ve been able to play steam games and set up my dev environment with basically no issues.

    The catch is you need to use non-official repositories (i.e. https://github.com/nonguix/nonguix) to use the non-libre kernel and other software not on the official channel.

    There’s also this nice little search engine - https://toys.whereis.みんな/ - where you can look for packages from other repos (or channels as they are called in guix).

    I use Nix on my macos work laptop to set up my dev environment, but I definitely prefer guix so far, mostly due to the it being configured in guile over the weird nix language. The biggest advantage I see of Nix is that it has a bit more features and lots more packages.

    I am a pretty hardcore emacs user and lisp lover though, so ymmv.












  • I’m just a newbie myself, but I think it might be better if you simplify what you’re doing a bit. I started the Starting Strength Novice Linear Progression about 2 months ago and have seen noticeable changes in my body and measurable changes in my strength – eg I’ve improved ~100lbs (45kg) on my squat and ~40lbs (18kg) on my bench.

    The program is super simple, just 3x week and 4 exercises to start with. The goal is to increase the weight on each lift by 5 lbs every workout.

    You switch between these two workouts:

    `A Squat Bench Deadlift

    B Squat Press Deadlift`

    The trick is, from my own experience at least, is that you need to eat a bit more than you’re used to (at least to start with). I feel it when I haven’t eaten or slept enough the day before the gym.

    Check out this page for more info https://startingstrength.com/get-started/programs

    They have some really good videos on how to do the exercises on their YouTube channel.

    There’s also a bunch of other variations I’ve seen of this routine, like the Grey Skull LP, but they all look pretty much the same to me.

    We used to call Mexican brick weed regs, or reggie, which I guess was slang for regular. Though I’m not sure why we called it that because it was much easier to find “fire” weed…which we called krypto or crippie. I think that was a south Florida thing though.
