Oh, I'm interested. Are you using it on servers, or desktop? My concern is the community is small, while Nix's has been booming.

I am using it on my home server that serves my web page and also a lot of things for my home network.

It runs some guix containers and some VMs. Nothing fancy.

All declared in a couple of files.

I'm using it on my server, laptop, and desktop. The community may be relatively small, but it is super active and easy to engage with. As a testament to how active the community is, Repology[0] ranks GNU Guix as the 5th largest repo by number of packages. Ahead of even some much more well known distros like Fedora and Gentoo.
