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'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.

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.
