Does anyone have experience in flashing the Pinebook Pro EMMC with Guix? The images provided on the website don't boot on my SDCard with TowBoot.

I flashed it multiple times with

dd if=guix-latest.img of=/dev/mmcblkX bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync

Am I supposed to do something specific?

Hey all. Can anyone recommend me a path or some resouces how I could more learn about Guix? I know packaging is a large part of Guix, yet the information on how to package, or contribute in providing packages seems little difficult to find. Thank you.

I recently installed Guix in hopes of learning to use it. I wanted to update the system and gathered from the reference card that the proper command was "guix pull". My issue is that while no error message is given this didn't seem to update anything after. One thing that makes me think this is that I'm still on the 6.0.10 kernel as I was before. Am I doing this wrong ?

just decided to share this information on a cool recently released command that i have been eager to see for a while and hopefully jumpstart things on the guix community here!

How can I prevent Doom Emacs from pointlessly downloading emacs packages whenever I update it and instead load the ones provided by Guix?

I have this in my Doom configuration but I have no idea about how to test if it's working, and anyway Doom still dowloads i.e. undo-tree which I installed in my Guix profile
