+and a distribution thereof.
+
+In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
+transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management,
+per-user profiles, and garbage collection.
+
+It provides Guile Scheme APIs, including high-level embedded domain-specific
+languages (EDSLs), to describe how packages are built and composed.
+
+A user-land free software distribution for GNU/Linux comes as part of Guix.
+
+Guix is based on the Nix package manager.")
