The #guix survey also showed that our users are knowledgeable #Linux people. Almost 50% are experts/advanced and 47% are intermediate!

A lot of the attraction is the #nix value of declarative configuration and reproducibility. Users also identified that Scheme, Guile and Lisp are cool! Perhaps the overlap of two different communities! That was my path from #clojure and #ubuntu /#debian

See Q1 in the post:

@futurile

"The GNU should be trying to meet users where they are to help liberate them, instead of creating an alternate reality where user needs are not addressed. This is a non-starter in the year 2024."

Don't know who wrote that, but that pretty much sums up the biggest meta-problem. :sadlinux:

It's got great ideas, but you gotta meet users where they are.

@csepp Everyone's aligned on the desire for 'user freedom'. It's a question of the different routes people put forward that get's "us" to the end-goal.

The survey shows - people passionately love free software, #guix and they want to use it

Often in passionate groups we lose sight of the shared goal. Land-up discussing what divides, rather than what's shared!

For controversial topics - I hope the survey will let us think about "what can be done?" rather than "X is the only way"!
