Wow, the Free Software people can be insufferable.
From the README on the attached Nonguix escape hatch:
> Please do NOT promote this repository on any official Guix communication channels, such as their mailing lists or IRC channel, even in response to support requests! This is to show respect for the Guix project’s strict policy against recommending nonfree software, and to avoid any unnecessary hostility.
> This channel does not endorse any non-free application. We believe it is non-ethical, harmful to software development and restricts the users freedom. See the GNU philosophy for a more thorough discussion.
So it's Nix, but on extra-hard mode because of some impractical restrictions outlined by the author?
I'm used to being called "insufferable" for working on free software. Still a bit harsh judgment of people who at the end of the day still produce software that you are free to use for any purpose or ignore, no?

It's not Nix, and no, there are no impractical restrictions, nor is it hard to extend Guix with a wealth of third-party channels.
See other comments here that attempt to address this and other misconceptions surrounding Guix.
