My introductory talk at LinuxDay 2026 about Guix on foreign distributions

Yesterday I gave an introductory talk on Guix as a package manager in the context of foreign distributions, specifically Debian. I illustrated the main characteristics of the system for absolute beginners in the context of transactional and functional packaging systems. I returned after some years to the LinuxDay event with a technical presentation.

In my latest presentations at such events, I have always preferred more political and general-purpose topics. It's been nice to return with a for-nerds-only theme, a giant leap back to the past.

The slides of the talk (italian only) are available here.
