I definitely wouldn't want to push GuixSD in a less libre direction,
and I can just stick with XFCE on my desktop and just watch videos on
my laptop (which has more libre friendly hardware).
I also have a flash drive running a different distro for if I ever
really want to do anything particularly hardware intensive on my
desktop, so it's no problem for me to just reboot into that on
occasion if I need to.





bug#25953: [PATCH] gnu: mesa: Build LLVM Gallium drivers.

2017-03-15 Thread Ricardo Wurmus
It looks like the latest status here (according to discussions on IRC)
is that we’ll add LLVM as a dependency to mesa only when building on
x86_64 or i686.  The LLVM Gallium drivers do not seem to be supported on
other architectures anyway.
