Switching from Linux-libre to Linux with Guix would be a last resort for me. The deblobbed Linux-libre kernel was one of the key features that attracted me to Guix. I would be more inclined to try to make one of these work first: - Gentoo with a deblobbed kernel - OpenBSD (has no binary blobs) - Devuan testing (I think they have a deblobbed kernel) However I still want to make Guix with Linux-libre work as Guix has other features that I like that Gentoo, OpenBSD and Devuan do not have.
