Emacs consuming CPU in end-less loop: what are my options?
You could install Nix or Guix as an additional package manager if you want to give a newer version of Emacs a go before upgrading your system. With Guix you might want to add this channel (for native compilation).

How do I choose the .desktop file used for exwm?
I am using the emacs-native-comp branch from flatwhatson's guix-channel. But the exwm package from guix is loading emacs 27. I've been reading through the manual in the Desktop Services section but can't quite make out how to tell guix to use emacs-native-comp instead of emacs 27 when launching exwm.

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:
