Hi Lulu, Welcome!
Have you already tried GNU Guix? The package manager on foreign distro? The full Guix System? If yes, are you comfortable with? Feedback is very welcome. :-) If not, you can give a look at the manual, especially the Binary Installer on foreign distro section [1]. Do not hesitate to report here or help-g...@gnu.org or #guix if you hit an issue. Well, last but not least, what topic you may be interested in to work on? All the best, simon [1] <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#Binary-Installation>
