We’re opposites. I prefer the libre kernel and it’s not in the repo for the OS I’m using. Takes like 12 hours to compile on my 2012 laptop. I just let it run overnight when there’s an update. Been itching to throw guix on this and check it out.

Oof, yeah that sucks. Now that i think about it i feel like a lot of distros that aren’t libre focused don’t bother with the libre kernel. If i could use the libre kernel i definitely would, but i really need firmware for my gpu and i think that’s the main issue. Wifi is also an issue but if that was the only thing stopping me it would probably be easier to find a solution for that with a dongle or something, but i can’t see myself getting rid of the gpu issue.
