Is there anything that doesn’t run linux lol?
How many hoops (if any) did you have to jump through to install?
Linux is great for reserecting old hardware! I had an old gaming pc I built back in 2009 (had to replace graphics card) onto which I installed guix. Now I have a raid 1 store, samba network share, and jellyfin server!

True, then I’d be screwed. But, because my system config is declared in a single file (plus a file for channels) i could re-install my system and be back in business relatively quickly. There’s also guix home but I haven’t had a chance to try that.
Me too. Additionally, I use guix so if a system update ever broke my machine I can just rollback to a prior system version (either via the command line or grub menu).

I’ve had a similar experience with Guix.
Gnu Guix is working on HURD integration.

Gnu Guix. By default Guix uses only free libre software, but there are ways to install it with a non-free kernal. Systemcrafters has a guide (this is what I used) as well as non-guix (guix repo for non free software).
No you’re adorable!
Which is cool!

The Inverted Frontier series by Linda Nagata is sort of what you’re looking for. It’s not hard sci-fi, but it has a strong emphasis on organic computation. Books so far in the series are: Edges, Silver, Needle, and Blade.
There’s a three book prequel series, The Nanotech Succession as well. It’s not required to read it before The inverted frontier but it’s quite good so I would if I were you.
And rage at the dj when they would talk over the song intro.
Yeah Linux is great at supporting old hardware. I had an old desktop I built in 2009 lying around doing nothing. So I installed guix w/ a non-libre kernel onto it and brought it back to life!
Oh nice.
