I was so excited to give Nix a chance, but I'd prefer to program in Guile rather than Nix, so now I'm excited to give Guix a chance lol. Going to install it this Wednesday on new laptop, wish me luck

I installed it a few months ago, I thought it was pretty good! I couldn't find a prebuilt package mirror in or near Australia though so it was painfully slow to install updates, and I didn't stick with it.

Better check to make sure your laptop's hardware, particularly WiFi, is compatible. Most aren't.

You can install/run guix using a nonfree kernel to get around that.
