#### About GNU Guix
[GNUÂ Guix](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix) is a transactional package
-manager for the GNU system. The Guix System Distribution or GuixSD is
-an advanced distribution of the GNU system that relies on GNU Guix and
-[respects the user's
+manager and an advanced distribution of the GNU system that [respects
+user
freedom](https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html).
+Guix can be used on top of any system running the kernel Linux, or it
+can be used as a standalone operating system distribution for i686,
+x86_64, ARMv7, and AArch64 machines.
In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management,
-per-user profiles, and garbage collection. Guix uses low-level
-mechanisms from the Nix package manager, except that packages are
-defined as native [Guile](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile) modules,
-using extensions to the [Scheme](http://schemers.org) language. GuixSD
-offers a declarative approach to operating system configuration
-management, and is highly customizable and hackable.
