Gnu Guix System Review
(thekernalblog.github.io)
Isn't this missing the entire point of guix?
You mean reproducibility and bootstrappability?
Being a free software GNU distribution is also the point of Guix, and it's part of what attracted me to it (although its practical abilities are nice as well).
Yes I definitely agree: free software is also a requirement for bootstrappability and reproducibility.

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.
