I'll have to give it a try. There are ways to get non-free software on guix? Is it just not officially part of the distro?
Yes you can install non-free software on Guix. By default Guix only ships with non-free software in its iso and standard repo, but there is a nonguix channel (read repo) which comes with all the non-free software I've ever needed.
It's very easy to add channels to Guix. Flatpak and Nix are also available on Guix if you'd prefer to use those ways of getting non-free software.
I've been reading some more and I definitely want to give guix a spin. I guess that's the advantage of nix as a tool: you can always install alongside your distro's package manager if desired.
