It is viewed as just a nix fork with scheme on top of in many communities I am in, while yes it might be started off as that but it has grown significantly in the recent years that it should be treated as its own project. I have been just in guix community for like year and so but I have seen very good changes, some of them would

• The new rust build system
• Moving to Codeberg (this brought many new contributors)
• new v1.5.0 release :)

But what I like most about the guix project is the people there, It is small but very tightly-knit community. So I believe guix deserve its own tag now. ps - I am adding more text that follows the guidelines, thanks <a href=“https://lobste.rs/~gerikson” rel=“ugc”>@gerikson</a> for pointing this out <hr> Name: “guix” Description: “A transactional scheme based package manager and distribution” Category: package management, declarative configuration Similar tag: nix Recent Stories:

People who use nix might want to filter out guix stories that have got nothing to do with it and vice-versa for guix people. The increased complexity for submitter and mods is justified by the fact that this tag will set a clear distinction between the two and this should make it easy for both submitter and mods as tagging <code>gnu guix 1.5.0</code> release as nix tag doesn’t seem right.
