what's something guix does that gentoo doesn't, aside from being reproducible, which I don't care about?

Last time I tried the Guix distro it didn't have the required drivers for my system.

Consistency.
The package manager (Guix), init system (Shepherd), and even the CI (Cuirass) are all written in GNU Guile (Scheme/Lisp) and fully hackable.
Also, being a GNU Project, there's good integration with other GNU projects like Emacs.

And not just consistency - it's harmony, even

Gentoo is made by tens or hundreds of NEETs with no clear goals let alone ones that align

In Guix every single part of the system just falls in place perfectly and agrees with each other

It's the final solution to the Linux desktop question

>>don't need root to install packages
lies troon, how do you update the /boot symlinks to your kernel/initrramfs without root or /run/current-system when you update the init and there's probably a lot more of packages that require root but I don't care enough about your garbage troonware to look it up.

>>107014673
>troonware
Not a single tranny has ever been involved in Guix
On the other hand, your hobby distro has so many death cult members on their team the whole thing could collapse overnight LOL
>B-But my maintainers said nigger or something!
Same coin

Guix has the best documentation I have ever seen.

I literally wrapped my head around it in like 15 minutes

Freetards managed to do it yet 24/7 online trannies can't write a single doc page for nixos and you have to learn from code snippets scattered all over the internet

>>107014737
>your hobby distro
joke's on you I run my own distro so zero troon involvement, while your troonware is inspired by troonOS and the whole concept is trannypilled.

>>107014673
>how do you update the /boot
Pretty much all distros need root privileges to do this, retard.
Still, with Guix you can install/manage/remove packages rootless with the guix package or guix home command. Meanwhile, with other package managers (like Gentoo's Emerge) you need root privileges even to accomplish this simple task.
Anyway, fortunately there's a lot of WIP to further improve this on Guix:
https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2025/03/build-daemon-drops-its-privileges/

>>107014804
so don't claim your package manager doesn't require root retard, and you the only reason it doesn't require root is because it installed packages in your troonstore that breaks everything and forces you to use only troonware approved scripts or packages. I could install all my packages in a directory owned by my user and add them to the path and not require root as well but what's the point, literally none retard.

Sure, if you love dealing with dependency hell and package breakage. Guixchads keep winning, anyway.

>>107014962
>firefox-esr
why would I need firefox-esr when I use firefox, I don't have it packaged and don't have the need for it but it would just work since I could just define my build script to install firefox-esr as firefox-esr if it installs itself as firefox but I have no idea if that's the case and couldn't care less. your whole os is useless troonware

you're the troon boasting useless features, oh look I can have 10 versions of firefox installed, isn't that great right, oh and by the way I need to use some nonguix repo because I'm so cucked my distro won't let use non-free stuff lmao. now you go ahead and install duckstation on your distro (no flatpak or appimage)

Not really
There are many competing nix forks now (Lix, Snix, Eka, etc.), all while the NixOS foundation is in the middle of a "civil war" between SJW troons and Anduril chuds.
No flakes, no proper documentation, good Nix devs being banned, endless drama... Not really a win.

Reproducible builds are a specific use case and should be covered by user-space utilities, not the system itself.
There's no point in using a source based distro if you just want to have official repo packages and don't need to integrate your own programs into the system. Overlays let you have your own ebuild repositories with ease.
Oh, the horror, gentoo compiles a lot! Anyway...
That's not a system's problem, that's a tranny infestation X1.
That's not a system's problem, that's a tranny infestation X2.
For desktop use flags control which primary gui widget you're going to use, this affects the general look of your graphical system. They control support for X11/Wayland. They tell you which files your mpv and ffmpeg is going to support. Etc etc.
-Os, and if you really don't want to have build dependencies there's always an option to use a build server.

Openrc sucks so much Alpine, the container distro, uses it. Cope.
That's not a system's problem, that's a tranny infestation X5.
The "stable" branch is running latests releases of programs, why do you need "unstable"? If you need bleeding-edge, 9999 ebuilds just work.
That's not a system's problem, that's a tranny infestation X6.
Original authors are gay. See debian, void.

Regardless, if you're satisfied with guix, then it's good for you. I'm fine with my choice, you're fine with yours. To each their own.
