There should be a place where all that is advertised (outside Guix official 
channels to avoid conflict when that applies). I'm so clueless personally

> streams not playing
You mean like Twitch or YouTube or videocall or something else? Personally with 
the AppImage everything was working fine (but I haven't checked everything 
possible)

> running on native wayland
What was the workaround/solution? Personally it receives the order to use 
WayLand

```html
<table xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
  <tbody id="graphics-features-tbody">
    <tr>
      <td style="white-space: pre-wrap">
        EGL_EXTENSIONS(nullptr): EGL_EXT_platform_wayland
        EGL_KHR_platform_wayland
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td style="white-space: pre-wrap">
        EGL_EXTENSIONS(nullptr): EGL_EXT_platform_wayland
        EGL_KHR_platform_wayland
      </td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
<table xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; class="prefs-table">
  <tbody id="environment-variables-tbody">
    <tr>
      <td class="pref-name">MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND</td>
      <td class="pref-value">1</td>
    </tr>
```

but

```html
    <tr>
      <th class="column" data-l10n-id="graphics-window-protocol">
        Window Protocol
      </th>
      <td style="white-space: pre-wrap">x11</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
```

> use the channel
Last time I messed with channels I've had to maintain a whole version control 
system **just** to figure out what wasn't working, took me, idk, months of 
maintenance time, weeks of mind time and maybe hours/day of actual time. Maybe 
you know a foolproof way or something?

> search in toys
IIRC when I wanted first to use it I tried Toys but found nothing, or maybe it 
was for another browser, but pretty sure it was for Zen

Yeah Guix do love that we do things the Guix way, and using a tool to prepare a 
binary to be used non-Guix way makes Guix no happy
