I do not see it that way. GNU Emacs runs on Windows as it is useful for Windows users. But would it run exclusively on Windows, it would not be supported by GNU project. > - Guix runs on Linux, the unabridged with all the proprietary bits > - and pieces for the video card, wifi and all.

Guix runs on Linux-libre which is different kernel version than mainsteram Linux kernel. Guix is project for fully free software distribution. That is purpose of it. The purpose is not to run on proprietary systems or using proprietary blobs. That is why in Guix community Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
