I ask this with no passive aggression; what are the advantages of Guix over Nix? I've used Nix a few times and thought it was pretty neat...

I love Guix and GuixSD and would like to move to it as my main OS, but I dislike that they actively censor information on how to run a custom kernel and get set up on a machine where some drivers linux-libre removes are required. I understand that they don&#x27;t want to distribute those stuff and that&#x27;s fine, but not everybody can buy new hardware and especially <i>any</i> hardware easily. This is extremism for me (banning official information, not the offending drivers), it&#x27;s distasteful and discourages me.

Let&#x27;s say I want to have the last five versions of my application installed as a mortal user, for testing purposes.<p>Let&#x27;s say that my application&#x27;s build system pulls in a big GUI toolkit binary because reasons.<p>Let&#x27;s say I don&#x27;t want to create &quot;official&quot; packages for it, just something quick and dirty that will get me these versions installed.<p>Can I do this with GNU Guix?

&gt; Bootloader definitions are available for many boards—Novena, A20 OLinuXino, BeagleBone, and even NES.<p>I&#x27;d love to see somebody try to run GuixSD on a NES.

The big problem that Nix&#x2F;NixOS has is failure to integrate well with graphics libraries (OpenGL drivers, etc).<p>Does Guix solve this problem?
