First of all: Guix (and Nix) seems like really interesting projects, I'm just not there yet that I'm going to nuke what I know and love for it. I probably will one day, but not right now. But: I'm not sure you're doing your work any justice by labelling it "avant-garde". I think you risk looking "weird" or more dangerous than you need to and might detract people from looking into it.

Someone else just pointed that out to me too. I didn't know of all the connotations of the term, sorry about that. :-)

Installing it just for your user instead of system wide is a pretty neat way to test Guix and profit from some of its benefits.

Avant-garde is a perfect description of Guix. It is an experimental OS that pushes the boundaries of the status quo. What negative connotations do you think this has among hackers?
