Debian discusses vendoring again

I recently returned to Debian after a long hiatus in Ubuntu. This time, I'm using Guix as my package manager.

It's a wonderful combo. Bleeding edge, reproducable, roll-backable, any version I choose, packages if I want them via Guix. Apt and the occasional .deb file as a fallback or for system services (nginx etc). And Debian as the no-bs, no-snap, solid foundation of everything.

To me this is the future.

Have you considered GuixSD (Guix as an OS instead of just package manager) instead of Debian?

I have.... it was a bit too much of a leap for me at the moment. And also I rely for work on proprietary software such as MS Teams which I wasn't sure I could install on GuixSD?

Desktop, to be fair.
