Recently I got into NixOS and started setting it up -- until I found Guix System. I started feeling like Nix is more of a DSL, while Guix seems more like a truly programmable system. But I still can’t decide between them. What do you find most attractive about Guix System compared to NixOS?

GNU and scheme. I know that's kind of an obvious answer, but they're things I appreciate. Unfortunately guix hasn't really worked for me as a distribution. I'll probably look again some time in the future.
