Funny how the NixOS manual helped me more than the ones by Guix, especially when it came to shell setup stuffs like partitioning disk and writing Guile configurations from scratch.

It took me two days to finish the entire setup. The default configs are either pretty bloated or the servers are quite far from me. And building the Linux kernel from scratch to support propreitary Realtek WiFi drivers just took a lot of time. I guess asking a university in China, India or SEA to host a substitute might be quite helpful to those living in Asia.

Now I have two systems: one running on NixOS and other on Guix. Transactional package managers all day 😄 .
