Guix: Five-star support 👨‍🔧

January 31, 2023 20:35 -0500

A couple of days ago I got five-star support on Guix's IRC channel after my Guix System failed to boot properly, displaying a GRUB message that read:

error: file /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod not found

I was only able to interact with a GRUB rescue mode.

Fortunately, I could connect to IRC using a machine I took months ago from the technological waste pile, and nckx helped me fix the problem.

Motivated by this kind of volunteer support, I designed a badge for the occasion (the source file is available in my guix-graphics repository):

Figure 1. Tentative Guix five-star support badge. In the center of the image, the head of a smiling baby geek surrounded by a lifebuoy. Above the buoy, five stars. Below the buoy, a ribbon with a text that reads "GUIX HELP". Everything painted in a combination of gold and graphite colors.

Thanks again nckx :)
