Hi John, Andrew Tropin and a few contributers are also using and extending Guix into its own developer and power user friendly GNU/Linux distribution, you can find more info on the project page :
https://git.sr.ht/~abcdw/rde Or we can answer any questions you would have with Andrew. You can also find a collection of channels, packages and services here : https://toys.whereis.%E3%81%BF%E3%82%93%E3%81%AA (or here if badly pasted : https://git.sr.ht/~whereiseveryone/toys) There are probably multiple projects of interest there for you.
