GNU Guix transactional package manager and distribution — GNU Guix (original) (raw)
Summary
GNU Guix is a package manager for GNU/Linux systems. It is designed to give users more control over their general-purpose and specialized computing environments, and make these easier to reproduce over time and deploy to one or many devices.
Give Users Control
Users on the same machine can manage their own packages independently from each other, without superuser privileges.
Reproducible Outputs
Guix provides thousands of packages which include desktop environments, applications, system tools, programming languages and their data and other digital artifacts which work as the building blocks for creating reproducible shell environments, containers and systems for different computing needs.
