Guix is amazing and what I use for everything, but apart from basic language issues I'm don't find it any easier than Nix.
How did you make Guix work for you? Every time I've tried to use it, it was terrible (90 minutes for reconfigure and required internet access, just to remove GNOME).
Make sure you have working substitute servers for each repo, nonguix is pretty handy, and LLMs can be good at finding config bugs
the big difference is i haven't heard of any security issues in it.
Not enough people use it to be a target.
