Is anyone successfully running guix system on PBP

As per title.

If so, how?

If not, why not, what caught you out / stopped you?

I have seen this article how to build the system from scratch (from last year) : http://www.joyofsource.com/guix-system-o...k-pro.html
And there is this pinebook-uboot package in the Guix package list: https://guix.gnu.org/en/packages/u-boot-...21.07-rc1/

I don't have any experience with Guix, but would also be interested to try it on the PBP as well.

Hi

There is a beta image available now. It boots into the console and you can install some more tools, but a desktop environment is not yet available.

That's awesome. I'll give it a try!

I have managed to build a GUIX X11 environment on the Pinebook Pro. It took around 3 1/2 hours (kernel alone 2 hours), 
but afterwards I was able to boot into gdm/i3wm for now. I don't need a full XFCE or Gnome environment. emacs-native is working too.
I will experiment a little with stumpwm and exwm in the future. 

I can post my config here, if there is an interest

I would love to se your guix config for Pinebook Pro, I would like to make my pinebook a proper lisp machine with guix and emacs but I a haven't use guix much yet so something to start from would be great.

And i possible I would love to know how you builded emacs with native comp. I tried the packages on AUR and Guix but both had problems with an out of date libgccjit.

Ok. I am a little late, but it might be of use for you anyways.

This is great. Thank you, I'll give it a go and let you know how i get on.

I'm thinking to use exwm, did you try that too yet?
