After weeks of struggling to bootstrap it, I have successfully written a configuration file for a 16-year old Lenovo Atom netbook with #Guix and deployed changes to it with the deploy utility.
Lots of problems stood in the way, but cross-building packages from x86_64 to i686 gave me a lot of opportunities to learn from. I will have a blog post talking more about this in the coming days.
Now, was there any major point to all this? Nope, it's purely for fun.

@ste5e@mastodon.social Nice! Fun is just enough motivation, especially when creates foundation for other people to be able to revive other similar machines thanks to your work. This is very #permacomputing approach to revive and possibly use older hardware
