What are your opinions of Guix?
Reposting because it looks like federation failed.
I was just reading about it, it sounds like a pretty cool OS and package manager. Has anyone actually used it?

I was thinking something to do with nonvolitile memory.
The real problem was that the guided install - guix pull - system reconfigure - reboot process took about three to four hours each time, so I gave up after a few iterations.
I did try playing around with bios settings a little, but I'm sure I missed some possibilities.
That's exceptionally long. Could it be that you were building every tool from scratch, and weren't using any binary servers?
I'm pretty sure I was set up for substitutes, but this was a while ago.
I did end up replacing my router a few months after that, so it may have just been that my connection was very slow.
Also, every time I tried it and it didn't work, I had to do a full Pop Os install in order for myguix install media to start working again, which added a few minutes to the process.
