I'm not making it up: the users think Guix is a systemd distro: you need
to
make it clear that it is not (note: in the init system debates GNU DMD
was
spoken of glowingly, they don't know it changed names either).
Perhaps put on the main page: Init system: shepard (old name: GNU DMD).
Many have said on the anon tech message boards "I wanted to use Guix,
but [(some complaints RMS asked me not to mention)] and also use
systemd".
shepard
systemd
Speed readers would miss the middle letters, which is likely what is
happening.

You will have to advertise that. Most users are under the impression
the
Guix is a systemd distribution.
In my 5 years of hacking on Guix, this is the first time I've heard
someone try to draw a connection between Guix and systemd. The Guix
manual in the "Services" section says that services are managed by GNU
Shepherd. The only mention of systemd in the manual is in relation to
controlling guix-daemon when using Guix on a foreign distro, e.g.: "If
your host distro uses the systemd init system...".
