    Thanks for the manager link.

    > There are several third party channels covering non-free software needs.

    Can you link some of them? I've kept a list over the years for when I decided to try Guix again, but it's not up to date. And some like [1] aren't being maintained anymore.

    While I support this strong stance on free software from a philosophical standpoint, it's practically unusable as my main distro because of my current hardware. I'd love to see a distro based on Guix that breaks this GNU principle and focuses on general ease of use.
