How would packaging Steam-proton games be received?

Happy end of the forever year, everyone One thing I know that I have run into, and have heard so many times over from those on Windows is how unstable or much of a hassle it can be to get games to work. In the last few weeks, I spent ~20 hours just to this hassle myself. Having everything includ

Hi Matthew, I’m not 100% sure how guix handles the ghc “boot” libraries but I think time is installed alongside ghc. Doing guix environment --pure --ad-hoc ghc -- ghc-pkg list gets me time-1.9.3. So I do think the version bounds should be satisfied without any other dependency. Mind s

So a separate channel would work for non-free software? I know the stuff is fundamentally gross. I'd still like to have a better way to get out of an ecosystem that is basically entirely all non-free software and a transition to fully free becomes possible. On Thu, Dec 31, 2020 at 1:56 PM Leo Fa

I don't know in depth how Proton works internally, but I think it includes non free DLLs, including DRM support, to improve compatibility with Windows games. If my understanding is correct, shipping Proton and games that depend on it as part of Guix would be a tacit endorsement of proprietary softw
