I would be using nonGuix if it booted on my machine (libre seemingly has its claws too deep), instead of Nix, precisely because Guix has far less NIH: Nix is homegrown everything. Guile was a pre-existing project (for both Guix and The Shepherd), for a pre-existing language family.

If you ever want to return to it, the nonguix ISO can be notoriously buggy. A better approach is to use the normal Guix ISO with an ethernet cable during installation and while setting up nonguix and your drivers.
