From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not really. I've not tweaked anything related to performance - because I'm not even sure how I would go about doing that on Guix. This makes it really easy for me to switch to custom kernels, so that's just it. Right now, I have the option between default non-free and XanMod. Someone could package Zen or TKG on Nonguix, and that would increase the kernel choices. There's also this option to switch to an entirely different kernel architecture, like for example, Hurd, but that probably won't work on metal.
