This is just like that time they made a constitutional monarchy in France. I predict that the Manjaro owner will be too greedy like the King was and it will just end up in a republic (hard fork with name change).

That said, we have seen successful forks like this lately. CoMaps is a good example.

Yeah, I think that’s what that means. How it works is that you will reconfigure your system, which will load the new version into kexec. Then you can simply launch reboot --kexec to switch to your new system, including the new kernel.

Hey, Guix contributor here. We actually already have Gnome 48 almost done. Keep in mind that Guix is a rolling release so there is no need to wait a year to get the updates. I think we’re on pretty good pace to catch up with upstream before next year. Still, it takes a lot of effort to package gnome, especially with the growing reliance on systemd!
