First of all: Guix (and Nix) seems like really interesting projects, I'm just not there yet that I'm going to nuke what I know and love for it.

I probably will one day, but not right now.

But: I'm not sure you're doing your work any justice by labelling it "avant-garde". I think you risk looking "weird" or more dangerous than you need to and might detract people from looking into it.

Someone else just pointed that out to me too. I didn't know of all the connotations of the term, sorry about that. :-)

Avant-garde is a perfect description of Guix. It is an experimental OS that pushes the boundaries of the status quo.

What negative connotations do you think this has among hackers?

Installing it just for your user instead of system wide is a pretty neat way to test Guix and profit from some of its benefits.
