> build everything yourself That’s not true; Guix allows you to easily fetch pre-built artifacts from “substitution servers”. This becomes even more foolproof now that the packaging system has mapped the whole derivation and the hashes of each component involved. > to do anything that is not hardliner FLOSS you have to really grok the entire thing and build everything yourself There’s now a “nonguix” repository/channel for derivations of non-free software (along with its own substitution server for pre-built artifacts).
