   @futurile I'm in favor of people calling them whatever they feel comfortable using.

   But the Guix manual says that

   «“Guix” is pronounced like “geeks”, or “ɡiːks” using the international phonetic alphabet (IPA).»

   https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Introduction.html

   So I personally use "guix" to refer to "Guix users", and "guik" for the singular. And it works for me because it reads naturally in Spanish.

     @luis_felipe @futurile people often say "Hello Guix" in the IRC and mailing lists as if referring to everyone by that term
