Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but isn't part of the point that the packages themselves are declarative and you're not beholden to some maintainer to get stuff? Wo

  To install stuff with Guix you simply type "guix install foo". From an end-user perspective, the main difference from other package managers is that you don't need root privileges (and that each user have their own "collections" of packages).

  Both. You get to use packages others have written the same way as you do on arch. And you can also decleratively specify your build environkent, or override some attributes like apply a custom patch in a package someone else wrote. But you are just as not required to learn nix, as you don’t need to know how to write a .deb package to use ubuntu
