(description
- "GNU Guix is a purely functional package manager for the GNU system,
-and a distribution thereof.
-
-In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
-transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management,
-per-user profiles, and garbage collection.
-
-It provides Guile Scheme APIs, including high-level embedded domain-specific
-languages (EDSLs), to describe how packages are built and composed.
-
-A user-land free software distribution for GNU/Linux comes as part of Guix.
-
-Guix is based on the Nix package manager.")
