Naive question:
Isn't all that also true for Guix?
If so, why do your prefer Nix over Guix?

Unfortunately, that isn't workable for most of us.
There may even be community-based sources for non-free packages, but they are explicitly ignored by the Guix project.
I haven't missed any non-free packages since switching to Guix surprisingly, I always seem to find a free alternative though my daily req are pretty basic.
Where?
> The community won't help anybody if they ask for help with non-free software though.
This, specifically, is where Nix has the advantage.
I cannot answer your question, but I think Nix has (for some reason) a lot more publicity than Guix at the moment.
But if "derived" implies that Guix is a fork, then you are mistaken.
Guix is not a fork of Nix.
