Nix – A One Pager
Their software freedom policy seems to be similar to Debian. All free by default, allow separate nonfree addon. In the case of Guix you can find that here: https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix .

Write Guix package definitions in a breeze: Introducing Guix Packager
The GUIX community has a non-free package repo, you just add it as a GUIX channel and problem solved:

My Void experience, so you don't have to
Yes, being a GNU project Guix has a strict free software only policy. The biggest channel (repo) with proprietary stuff for Guix is called nonguix. It has the vanilla kernel, Nvidia drivers and a number of other proprietary packages including Steam, Chrome and the like. I don't know what the state of ZFS on Guix is though as I don't care for it myself, but I can see why its inclusion would be questioned with regards to licensing.

Differences between nixos and guix?
Since Guix is a GNU project, it doesn't support proprietary software (Steam, Discord, Zoom...). Third-party repos are available for it.

I'm not fond of nix syntax, how difficult will it be to switch to guix
There's a git lab repo for non-free/libre software that you can add as a channel when installing. I used the following guide that shows you how to do this.

Invalid Field Specifier
I'm trying to enable substitues for nonguix. I added the code snippet from the nonguix website to my system.scm file per the instructions. When I try to reconfigure I get the following error:

Ask HN: What are some good laptops for development in 2024
The Lenovo T14s Gen 6 with Snapdragon X Elite will be available next month[1]
- I'd wait for reviews for how the Snapdragon performs, especially with emulating non-native applications.
- If you can, wait for Lenovo ThinkPads to eventually get a 50%-70% discount (might have to wait up to a year or so?) Like this one: https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/lenovo-thinkpad-l14-...
- Avoid Intel processors. They are more expensive and get hotter than AMD CPU's for generally less performance. The ThinkPad T15 Gen 5 looks decent: https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-real-ThinkPad-T480-success...
https://frame.work also looks like a decent option, but avoid if you don't want to spend time dealing with little quirks. For example, (a small number of) Framework laptops literally start smoking because an input panel was wired incorrectly (mine included) and the only support is offered via email, which is not very fast.

NoTunes is a macOS application that will prevent Apple Music from launching
We're blood brothers my friend. Never again on Asus (though I do have a traitorous exception for mother boards, though I'm trying to change). I also refuse HP stuff for the same reason. Could be so good, but brittle easily broken parts end up wiping out all the quality stuff.
Definitely take a look at Framework laptops (https://frame.work). Unless they lose their way, I don't plan to buy anything else. I've also had great luck with Lenovo T* line (my T580 was one of my favorites of all time). Dell makes some gorgeous stuff as well (though I go with the business line of XPS, I forget what they're called at the moment, maybe Precision?). If you're going Ubuntu or a derivative, Dell works a little better. I've had friction in the past with Fedora and Arch because it takes 6 to 9 months for all the drivers to make it upstream to the kernel, so if the model is new within 6 to 9 months you're stuck relying on Dell's build.

Framework's software and firmware have been a mess, but it's working on them
I think the SD module won't be able to have the card flush, as the modules are only and SD cards are 32mm long, and you need some PCB space for the socket cage and the USB-C on the other side. The retrofit PCB outline they provide is only 26.9mm from front edge to back edge, so an SD card will stick out a little bit.
So perhaps they decided to go for the one that lets users have the card flush for use like an expansion bay as well as for data transfer to/from devices.

I am sure there are more, this is only what I have found in less than 5 minutes of searching.

The Gazelle Laptops are the biggest POS
I'll buy a frame.work long before I touch system76. Their prices are too high for the general feedback I keep seeing on the quality control. I'm not spending 3k+ to be out a laptop until support responds. Especially, considering they still don't make these in house..

No they didn't, companies just mostly gave up on it.
