Yes! And everything is based on hashed source code - this guarantees long-term reproducibility, avoids vendor-lock-in with proprietary binaries and drivers (and that’s why some companies hate it), but above all makes much easier to inspect what is in a package.
Interesting, unfortunately I still rely on proprietary binaries but I could try it on a secondary device. Reproducibility is one of the reason I chose to learn NixOS.
Is Guix the GNU approach to NixOS?
So if nixos is the new I use arch btw is guix the new I use nixos btw?
Lol
Nah, Guix is dead simple to use. I even trained my pet octopus to build Guix packages after it got bored with the underwater piano :)

Yeah you can go with Nix then.
But it is not by chance that Linux is based on Open Source hardeare support. The alternative is something like MacOS.
