In the blog post if you read the person complained about it, so said can give a try to Guix. I think both Nix and Guix are good, personally I like Guix being familiar with lisp and scheme feels very natural to work with Guix, with Nix need to learn new declarative syntax.
Linux kernel itself is GPL, so not sure what’s the issue with Guix. Obviously Guix package repository only support libre software, but if you need to use proprietary repository try Guix-nonfree[1].
I am happy Guix and GuixSD exist. Check the gnu Guix mailing list archive both have same roots but are sufficiently different[2].
The vanilla Linux kernel contains many proprietary firmware blobs, which is why GNU and Guix uses the "Linux-Libre" fork.
There is a maintained nonfree Guix channel here if you don't care about such blobs or need other proprietary software: https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix
