GNU Guix

This distro has not been submitted already

GNU Guix

The name of the distro is GNU Guix, version 1.1 was released on April 15 of this year

What is the release date or cycle?

It has a stable and latest version. You can also get it with the hurd kernel, but there's no installer for that.

Who is the target user?

Probably old-school linux users, and gnu fans. It's obviously developed by them. This is not compatible at all with the idea of distro delves, but i thought it would be good to have a really GNU system in there somewhere.

What platforms does it support?

x86, x86_64

What makes it special?

It markets itself as an entirely free distro, with no proprietary components at all. It's also endorsed by the GNU organization, so that's a thing. It also uses the linux-libre kernel, or hurd, rather than the standard linux.
