> I've been running it on an older laptop to try it out. `guix pull` takes so much resources, it often takes a few hours to complete, even with binary substitutes.

This is being actively worked on!

I believe `guix pack -RR guix` will do package a relocatable guix for you.



Thanks for both your replies!

Looking forward to the first, and I'll look into the second. One of my goals would be so easily offload to a more powerful computer, even if it doesn't run guix.

Edit: content-addressed guix stores delivery over a content-addressed network sounds interesting, it would be even better with rolling hashes (I think ostree/casync uses those).

I dream of a yunohost-like operating system based on Guix :)
