The commands, in my experience, always fail with network troubles, and the commands must be re-issued multiple times for things to complete. Other internet-requesting utilities such as wget, curl, yt-dlp, pacman, apk and mpv do not have these issues, 2. The commands, based on shell output, appear to download the same versions of the same packages multiple times, 3. The commands, based on shell output, appear to request the same substitute services over and again multiple times in a row and they appear to do so at multiple different times within the same process. Perhaps the output messages lack details to inform the user, but to the user these appear as un-necessary repetition, 4. The commands usually print correct localised output in the shell process, but less frequently, question marks are printed instead of text, such as like this '????' For a new user, the guix experience would be more convincing if the above issues were not present.
