A Decade of Dotfiles
I used GNU Stow for a several years and always found it difficult to tell what symlinks were actually being created, even in verbose mode.
When I also ran into the stow bug with --dotfiles , I gave up on stow and wrote fling ( https://github.com/bbkane/fling ), which works quite similarly, but prints out what symlinks it plans to create and asks for confirmation before making them. Being written in Go, fling is also easy to install on Windows, which has come in real handy on occasion.
- Trying to move my nvim folder to my .dotfiles folder and create a symlink in .config but now working

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 .

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:
