Speaking for myself, one thing that I like about Guix and GuixSD are
that they make it relatively easy to learn and alter the system, at
least compared to some other GNU / Linux operating systems.
By encouraging users to learn how to alter their system, they will
unwittingly become computer programmers, which I think is beneficial for
software freedom. I'd prefer that to a world where only 1% of people
have the ability to effect change in software (the current situation).
I understand the situation is not a dichotomy; our system should not be
unnecessarily difficult to use.
