Trying out Guix for the first time! Waiting for packages to download.

I’m a long time Arch user. Any tips?!

I’ve heard there aren’t as many packages for Guix as other distros, but I was thinking Flatpak and distrobox will help bridge the gap for me.

    I love it especially because of the guix shell and guix shell container for dev environment isolation. It is a whole different ecosystem from the ground up though so it’s not an easy ride. But those two features make it worth it for me. Also it’s GNU distro which imo is a plus.
