Summary
GNU Guix is a package manager for GNU/Linux systems. It is designed to give users more control over their general-purpose and specialized computing environments, and make these easier to reproduce over time and deploy to one or many devices.
Give Users Control
Users on the same machine can manage their own packages independently from each other, without superuser privileges.
