No way, a Guix user in the wild???!! I didn’t think you exist! Any opinion you have as to why guix over NixOS other than GNU philosophy and liking Lisp over Nix?
For me, it was the docs and seemingly being more straightforward. Nix always seemed like something I’ll never understand because of it’s many ways to do things while having hard to follow docs at times, but guix made sense to me. Nix obviously has it’s clear upsides over guix - both are good!
I have not used NixOS, so can’t compare (in terms of other than GNU philosophy). But I took help of NixOS to write some package definitions for myself.
By the way, within Guix I can also run a
nix-daemon (if I want).
