It would be better to be consistent with the home page and make clear
that GuixSD is a GNU distribution, with Linux-libre being the default
kernel for the foreseeable future.
Background: Wikipedia has a policy to call GNU/Linux distributions
"Linux distribution" because that wrong term is more commonly used by
the public. To define GuixSD as a "GNU/Linux distribution" gives them
in turn justification to define it as a "Linux distribution" instead.

I pushed it with a slight adjustment to reflect the fact that GuixSD
does not yet support the Hurd. :-)
Thanks,
