I've had a draft post of [Guix](https://guix.gnu.org/) notes written up
for a while now. Did you know that it's easy to generate a file system
specified from a
[config.scm](https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Using-the-Configuration-System.html)?
It's somewhat equivalent to
[nixos-install](https://www.mankier.com/8/nixos-install),
[pacstrap](https://man.archlinux.org/man/pacstrap.8) and the like.

```shell
guix system init --no-bootloader config.scm filesystem/
```

Why? Commands like this are handy for messing around with
[chroots](https://man.archlinux.org/man/chroot.1.en), containers, and other
related stuff!
