Anyone using Guix? I've been looking at both recently and Guix really seems more put together. (and yes, for practical purposes you need to add the non-free repositories).

I use Guix for "personal" production stuff, and it's great. I tend to hop around between bargain basement VPS providers -- the kind that sometimes abruptly cease to be in business. I know this is a false economy vs just using DigitalOcean or even OVH but none of this stuff is critical for my livelihood and I like the bargain-chasing aspect of it.

Anyway, I have a config.scm file that will completely configure all the software I need on the box. Usually the toughest part is determining if/how to upload a custom image.

At my dayjob, I may soon try to generate OCI images with 'guix system container'.
