I quite enjoy it!
Being able to rollback any change I make to the system, either package changes or system configuration, makes it completely unbreakable and provides great peace of mind. It means I can fully enjoy its rolling-release nature without worrying.
Having my entire system configuration declared in a single, robust programming language (Guile) across a small number of files makes it very easy to understand and just stick into source control to reproduce.
Being able to hack on it in a lisp (scheme) is the cherry on top, along with the great emacs integration. I would highly recommend it to any lisp/emacs/gnu enthusiasts.
Yes you can install non-free software on Guix. By default Guix only ships with non-free software in its iso and standard repo, but there is a nonguix channel (read repo) which comes with all the non-free software I've ever needed.
It's very easy to add channels to Guix. Flatpak and Nix are also available on Guix if you'd prefer to use those ways of getting non-free software.
I've been reading some more and I definitely want to give guix a spin. I guess that's the advantage of nix as a tool: you can always install alongside your distro's package manager if desired.
Nice, looks indeed very comfy.
This is awesome! I had no idea that dwl-guile existed, I've been looking for something to replace stumpwm in Wayland and that may be it.
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.
