I Love Arch, but GNU Guix Is My New Distro

There is no freedom without information. Freedom requires being informed so you can take decisions that you believe are best for you. Lack of knowledge restricts your ability to make the right choices, and thus your freedom.

"Freedom" through lack of information is the kind of tactic that repressive regimes use to control their populace. It has no place in an organization claiming to further and support true freedom.

I don't fully agree with some of these decisions, but in the defense of Guix I must say as a user replacing linux-libre by the linux kernel is trivial if you are using guix tooling.

And exactly when did Guix or the FSF censor anything?

I'm not speaking for them, but I'm pretty sure they would say something in the realm of "the information provided by your updates is a false sense of security, so why WOULD we pass that on?"

Reading this from the guy who's trying to put Linux on a black-box has a certain flavor of irony, to me.
