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 .

Guix on the Framework 13 AMD
>you just use the nonguix channel
Opened up https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix. Literally the second line in the project information section, top of the page:
"Please do NOT promote or refer to this repository on any official Guix communication channels."
Weird thing to say something like this there. Too ideological for someone who wants to get stuff done.

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:

Why all the NixOS hype? Did we all forget about Guix?
I think Guix approach is good, devs manage the OS, community manages open-source packages, some third-party manages the non-free channels. And they are as easy to use
https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix/
There are flatpacks, snaps, appimages, PPAs, channels... why would you except a linux distro maintainer to work for free for a billion dollar company?

Nix and NixOS, my pain points
I agree with the Guix bit. At some point, I tried using Guix System on my laptop (with wireless support), and of course I was greeted with « use a wifi card that respect your freedom » or something like that. At some point, I might try again, using NonGuix ( https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix ), so for the moment I try to use Guix on small projects (like building websites using pelican), without going full Guix. What I'm most impressed with Guix is the time machine, but it still needs a lot of improvement for developers, for example allowing to specify environment variables in manifest.scm files.
What are some alternatives?
