    I think the language is harder but more powerful than Nix’s.
    Imo a better manual and examples would help a lot.
    I’d say one of the biggest issues is the one with proprietary drivers - you can’t really find examples and guides on how to get drivers working because it’s kept hush-hush, and to install them yourself requires knowledge on how to set things up, knowledge which beginner users don’t have ofc.
    I’m a big fan of Guix and Guile but atm I couldn’t switch over due to this.

      Do you watch systemcrafters on YouTube? I think he has a guix installation guide video that talks about adding the nonfree stuff. He also has a version of the installer iso with the full kernel so you can use your wifi during the initial install.
