Well, let's put flash aside. I'm not a fan and Shumway works for most stuff that I need.

Dropbox? BTSync? (I .. don't care about the latter, and try to replace the former with SyncThing atm, but I'm trying to make a point: It's more than just a single binary blob to watch cat movies or porn in a browser)

What I really like to install is Steam.

What I'm trying to say here is: If there's no middle ground, no way to fulfill my needs, the system just isn't for me. I might support the idealistic idea, but I cannot (or, more precise: I don't want to) work with a number of limitations.

I didn't even think about wifi or anything hardware related. If that doesn't "just work" it's again impossible for me to use the project and I need to bury the idea of trying Guix right next to my failed attempt to run nixos as my host system.
