   How is #guix used as a #GNU #Linux #distro ?

   System level packages are managed through #declarative configuration same as #nixos . User level packages using Guix Home.

   Roughly 50% use guix home to manage their #dotfiles - big increase over hosted users.

   40% to package their own #software - 36% for #isolated #development.

   Lots of requests to deal with #dev dependencies (e.g. Python's requirements.txt) and languages like #rust #golang and #npm
