I tried GNU Guix for a week (coming from Arch). While I really liked that it has an integrated approach for almost everything I found the following drawbacks which made me switch to NixOS ultimately.
- lack of packages, I found myself constantly using the Nix package manager to get most of the packages
- package download speed was considerably slower than Arch
- the overall size of the community is small
- opan 5y agoAdding missing packages to the guix wishlist (on the libreplanet wiki), and maybe even helping package some things yourself is one way to help with that problem.
