Guix can be used as a package manager. Try something like the following
(I suggest to create a chroot first):
$ git clone git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git nixpkgs-github
$ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/guix.git
$ cd guix
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure --localstatedir=/nix/var --with-nixpkgs=nixpkgs-github
$ make && make check
(You might need other packages [1].)
If you don't want to run 'make install', you'll have to prepend
'./pre-inst-env' (it sets the needed variables) to all commands. For
instance, this command should build GNU Hello:
$ ./pre-inst-env guix build -K hello
Don't forget to run the daemon [2] prior to that:
$ ./pre-inst-env guix-daemon --build-users-group=nixbld &
Also, it seems that your current distro contains non-free packages. I
highly recommend you to switch to a free one [3] (e.g., Parabola [4]).
There is a guide that might help [5], but I haven't tried it myself.
> Linux distro
Please don't use this term [6].
Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
