@noracodes Could (or would) you combine Guix and Nix into just using one or the other?

I've used NixOS, went back to an Arch flavour... but keep giving Guix the side-eye. Maybe just as an add-on, not primary package manager.

@tim_lavoie They have very different featuresets and their communities have packaged different sets of things; I tried going full GuixSD only but it didn't work out.
