Do you use guix? I've used nix for years now, and I really wanted to use guix instead, but I could never wrap my head around it for some reason. Once I installed nixOS, I felt like I could just kind of get rolling without the confusion. I couldn't tell you where that confusion comes from though.
However, after these last few years, I have a few gripes that I'd like to check with a guix user to see if they're represented in guix.
1) I can't easily pin a software I'm using to a specific version, it seems like everything has to be from a specific hash of nixpkgs
2) Relatedly, I can't upgrade firefox without upgrading every single piece of software installed on my computer
3) Dynamic linking doesn't work. I can get around it with steam-run, but that's hacky and I worry it won't be supported forever
