The reason that I've never attempted to really use Guix is because I'm a bit worried that I'd have driver trouble because of the LibreLinux kernel and no non-free stuff in the core repos. To anyone that has used both Guix and NixOS, how do they compare? Do you feel like Guix is a better experience if you get past the driver problems?

You can add the nonguix channel to Guix which gives you normal linux kernel, nvidia drivers, etc.

Check out the system-crafters distribution, IIRC it includes nonguix by default.
