I'm running a LibreM 13.  GuixSD worked perfectly out of the box.  It's
nice to run GNOME again (after not having working OpenGL for ages on my
x200).  The hardware kill switches for wifi / camera / microphone are
also nice.  It's only been a week, but my impression so far is: if you
can afford to fork over the cash for it, it's worth it.
