Hear ye, hear ye, Guix System has just received its newest release: 1.5.0 (L/A). Lots of cool new changes, the most important ones being that Guix now has its own native logging service via Shepherd, AppArmor support for my glowniggers out there, a new "guix pack" command to create AppImage and RPM packages, and a new forgejo service + native support. They are also going to be moving to an annual release schedule. Things are looking mighty fine in Guix land, I say, I say.

Needed to make sure I wasn't insane and reinstalled Kubuntu to make sure it ran well and yeah it worked fantastically. I have no idea why but the scaling works perfectly. What is it that Kubuntu is doing that Mint and Zorin are not?

KDE is qt and Gnome/Cinnamon is gtk? Is Zorin on Wayland?

Whenever I'm next going to bed or leaving the house after an update you're technically supposed to reboot after like a kernel or GPU driver update. Otherwise I just suspend.

guix pack isn't new however previously you were able to just package tarballs and docker images which was handy when it comes to running software packaged by Guix on non Guix system. I have been using it to run guix software on RPI 4 on which installing Guix natively wouldn't be worth it due to overhead that it introduces.

Zorin does use Wayland
I still plan on waiting for the next LTS release of Kubuntu and I'll give it a one week daily driver challenge.
I'll also give Devuan a chance in the meantime so I can see what the anti systemd guys are talking about.

Quick question but is there any significant downside to using LMDE as a server OS instead of headless Debian? I'll likely have to use my server as a desktop for a while and will back up my docker images and such and do a clean install, but after a while I'll want to use it as a headless server. Aside from slightly more storage use and longer updates will it be fine to just unplug the monitor, and possibly even stop X and LightDM from launching at startup?

thats kind of a weird choice for a server im curious as to why u cant do everything headless and why u want to return to headless when ur done with ur gui

Lots of things are easier to do over a GUI. It's also more convenient when you need to do stuff on the host machine that is outside the scope of the hypervisor. I've installed KDE on my Proxmox box for this reason.

It's Debian, it has X and various desktop environments. "apt install task-cinnamon-desktop"

Exactly. And as long as you've got X installed on Debian, if you then later need to access that server with a GUI while it's running 'headless', you can just set things up to connect remotely over X11 from another machine on the same network, or install VNC or RDP to connect that way.
