I like the design of Guix more than NixOS, but I haven't gotten around to actually trying it. The tricky thing about GNU distros is they often make it very difficult to install nonfree packages like Discord. I don't use proprietary software very often, but when I do I prefer to have it available in my distro's package manager.
Besides that, I look forward to giving it a chance.
- _emacsomancer_ 5y agoIt's pretty trivial to install whatever you like with Guix. The ability to add channels (~repos) makes it particularly easy. There's, for instance, the nonguix channel: https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix and the (nonfree) Guix Gaming Channels: https://gitlab.com/guix-gaming-channels https://gitlab.com/guix-gaming-channels etc.
