Second the FSDG.
I would love for guix to start actually working for steam and all that stuff. Instead of working "under the table" like now.

I would revisit even the whole attachment to gnu but maybe im too extreme on that regard.

Certainly keeps me from contributing as much as i would like though the whole FSDG/Gnu thing.

@msavoritias @daviwil @anticomputer I don't think that guix should provide steam or anything else like that. a separate channel is perfect for those. I think guix should make 2 changes:
1) make a firmware exception and include Linux with blobs
2) allow mention of channels with nonfree software

Completely agree.
It would go outside of the whole reproducible goal anyway for closed source stuff.

I just would like the development to support said software to be done it tne open. And as you said non free kernel would be nice. Because guix is too restricted by it at this point.
