For what it's worth, I use Guix and I've been able to do everything but CUDA just fine. (CUDA will never be supported in Guix as it requires proprietary drivers to function.) There are opencl packages, for example. It works well enough to run an Ethereum miner, Blender, and even games in WINE. I've been meaning to package AMD ROCm for better GPU compute support.




I, for one, would be happy to see that package. Took a try at it awhile back and found it rather bumpy.


One of the issues I've run into with Nix was lack of OpenGL. Does Guix have similar issues?


Nix has OpenGL it just doesn't know how to find the driver on non NixOS distros by default, can fix it with this: https://github.com/guibou/nixGL
