I find it awkward to use the "official" pronunciation of Guix while talking to my coworkers about it. :-/

I've come to like it over time, but it is quite literally "counter-intuitive".
Early in our conversation, I bailed and said something like, "I know it's pronounced geeks, but let's just refer to it as gwicks." Anyway, as part of research I'm doing at work around build systems, I had the opportunity (finally) to explore guix. I was pleasantly surprised to find I could install it on this new ARM based hardware I just brought up with a rather modest base Linux installation. It was a kick to be able to "guix package -i emacs". Not that we'll be shipping Emacs in anything, but I couldn't resist in the moment. I hope I get an opportunity to explore guix some more.
