I was in Iceland for vacation, so I was waiting in line for a rental car. I hear a very familiar voice in front of me and I realized it was a good friend from high school I whom hadn't seen or really talked to in years.

I chose the mirror cause I was just writing that comment super quickly on my phone. But uh, thanks for the right link I guess?
I'm not the op, but I've been using guix for several months on a new fairly top of the line desktop PC and it's going great. I've been able to play steam games and set up my dev environment with basically no issues.
The catch is you need to use non-official repositories (i.e. https://github.com/nonguix/nonguix) to use the non-libre kernel and other software not on the official channel.
There's also this nice little search engine - https://toys.whereis.みんな/ - where you can look for packages from other repos (or channels as they are called in guix).
I use Nix on my macos work laptop to set up my dev environment, but I definitely prefer guix so far, mostly due to the it being configured in guile over the weird nix language. The biggest advantage I see of Nix is that it has a bit more features and lots more packages.
I am a pretty hardcore emacs user and lisp lover though, so ymmv.
As a former smoker, I can attest that camels are the healthiest cigarette brand. I'm still alive after smoking them for years at least.
That cat has seen what those tissues are used for.
This is a great idea that I am going to steal.
The real learning happens when you copy and paste something you shouldn't and bork your system. That's basically how I started.
Pixel 6 came only came out near the end of 2021, I would hope all companies support phones for more than 3 years, but maybe I'm too optimistic.
