I definitely wouldn't want to push GuixSD in a less libre direction,
and I can just stick with XFCE on my desktop and just watch videos on
my laptop (which has more libre friendly hardware).
I also have a flash drive running a different distro for if I ever
really want to do anything particularly hardware intensive on my
desktop, so it's no problem for me to just reboot into that on
occasion if I need to.
