I don't know if the author is reading this, but the issues with the nvidia driver was likely because he didn't use an LTS kernel. The nonguix README says that the nvidia driver is only compiled for the current LTS kernel (i.e. the linux-lts package) but it's easy to miss. BTW, there's a list of mirrors for the substitute servers at https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/Mirrors, they tend to be way faster.

Just don't.

I'm always amazed people actually still use their products in a Linux system.

More expensive and worse software support than AMD or Intel.

		I'm writing this on machine with a 1660 TI on Guix with the open source(ish) drivers from nonguix and it works just fine.
