Yes, I have 4 in total.

I’m teaching 3 of my 4 children programming and guix.  Or at least that’s the plan.

I have loaded guix system on their SD cards, so that they can boot and also re-configure works. Yay!

We have Icecat installed on all the laptops.  Graphics acceleration with Xfce.

I’ve learned a lot about Guix myself in the past number of weeks.

So far a happy camper.

Brian.
