The #guix survey's results are out!

Posting things I found interesting!

1. Guix has a fantastically committed community

We've never done a survey before, so I was really worried about how many would take part. Over 900 participants did so!

Even more amazing - 150 people took part who were previous users or contributors! Thank-you for taking the time.

Thanks all!

It means the results are a great sample. Read the posts:

@futurile I've only just heard of GUIX through System Crafters on YouTube/Twitch - I know the basics of Linux - should I move to GUIX? How, why, where's a good (community recommended) walkthrough of getting it onto my ThinkPad. I do see it has the option to run on QEMU/QuickEMU - would that be a start? I use i3 as a window manager and just started getting interested in Emacs

@aarRJaay Equally don't want to put you off, as you're getting into #emacs. Systemcrafters is a great community - there's also the users mailing list - and lots of people on #guix IRC! I would definitely start running it inside a VM image - that way (if you're like me ...) when something goes wrong it's no big deal!
