This is great news! I have to mention that I experienced a bug using Guix on Debian not so long ago that broke my Debian host install completely. I could only restore my Debian system via snapshot after. This happened when creating a Guix container and using Guix from inside it. May be worth

So, a while back I mentioned that Guix was present in Debian "experimental": https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-11/msg00254.html And it was useable for a brief window of time, but was broken due to some issues with guile-gnutls and guile-3.0: https://bugs.debian.org/964284

With the recent SuSE announcement I hope Guix gets taken up as a package manager on non-native Guix systems (Debian in particular). Something I have been doing for years with great success - deploying some massively complex systems. One thing I have always wanted to do is use Guix' system
