To mitigate the issue, instead of running full Guix System, you could
just run Guix as a package manager on the top of NixOS. :-)
Doing so, you can try Guix and what the Scheme offers without the issue
you described. (I am running Guix on the top of Debian.)
Thank you for your feedback.
All the best,
simon
