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!
