Have you also tried nix, if so did you have any particular reason to stick with guix (maybe the Foss aspect)?
I have never used nix or nixos. I liked their shared idea (functional, atomic, reproducible systems), and so when I looked at their differences they seemed to all be pros for guix:
The only bittersweet aspect of guix compared to nix was the foss only stuff, as I do need some proprietary drivers, but nonguix is so easy it hasn't been a practical issue. And of course I am big advocate of free software so I like that guix is pushing that forward.
There's also a theoretical issue that guix has less packages, but the standard channel + nonguix has had everyhing I use.
Thanks for taking the time, I didn't know about nonguix! Not a big emacs perso, but do live in vim. Probably going to give guix a try this weekend, thanks for the inspiration.
