The Pre-Scheme Restoration project is now underway
There is also the "secret" nonguix channel which packages nonfree things for Guix: https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix
It's a funny problem but because it's antithetical to the original project's spirit you won't hear about it from any official Guix sources and so it's relatively unknown.

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.

Porting systemd to musl Libc-powered Linux
> their flatpak
Steam flatpak was not created by and is not supported by Valve. It's an unofficial project, and flathub says as much (I'm assuming you mean the flathub package):

Steam flatpak forgets drives
Hi I've been recently using the steam flatpak instead of the rpm package from the rpm fusion repos here on fedora 38. Everything has been going swell except one thing. I have two drives with steam libraries on them other than the default one steam creates. I can add these through the storage manager but when I restart my computer steam often but not always forgets them. Meaning most of the time when I boot my computer I have to go into the storage manager in steam and re-select the library folders and then it remembers my installed games. I've already had an issue open on the github for the steam flatpak but alas nothing yet https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/issues/1075. Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue and if anyone knows how I could remedy this so the drives are there on boot. I did get two other people with the issue on github but no solutions.

Since updating to Fedora 38, Japanese fonts no longer work properly in multiple apps
I recently updated from Fedora Silverblue 36 to 38, and now Japanese fonts are no longer working properly in multiple apps. Before, they would display correctly, but now I get rectangles instead of the proper characters. Examples of affected apps are Steam and Lifeograph (both installed via Flatpak).
