Thanks, indeed seems to be the case. I've just tried a LiveUSB I already had prepared with Trisquel 11 (relatively updated) and effectively the Wi-Fi was unavailable. And checking on their forums seems like there's no free driver for it. > For an older model, the hardware evaluation looks like this: > > https://h-node.org/notebooks/view/en/2051/ThinkPad-X260-20F6-006XMS Thanks! Yes, everything else seems to work perfectly fine. > A common solution is to also use the nonguix channel but everyone on > this list considers it inferior, and in many cases, unacceptable.

Mentioning it, as I > have, is right up against the line. We want you to use free hardware. I understand perfectly and pretty much appreciated both you intent to help and your care in only promoting free software. That's the main reason for me to give it a try to Guix -besides looking very good in general, of course. > > Is there a Guix System LiveUSB version to test it? > > I am not aware of an up-to-date live image but it may exist. Ok, gonna check it. > Kind regards & thanks for thinking of GNU Guix Kind regards to you, and to the contray, thanks a lot to everybody that make GNU Guix possible. You're awesome! :) > Felix
