GNU Guix System or Guix System[5][6] (previously known as GuixSD[7]) is a rolling release, free and open source Linux distribution built around the GNU Guix package manager.[8][9] It enables a declarative operating system configuration[10] and allows system upgrades which the user can rollback.[11] It uses the GNU Shepherd init system[12][13] and the Linux-libre kernel, with support of the GNU Hurd kernel under development.[14] On February 3, 2015, the Free Software Foundation added the distribution to its list of endorsed free Linux distributions.[15] The Guix package manager and the Guix System drew inspiration from and were based on the Nix package manager and NixOS respectively.[16]
