How long have you used it and how is it?

I’m pretty curious about those kinds of distros, and don’t really like how nixos is completely hosted on github (and all the drama that constantly comes from the community, and the bad documentation for many things, …).

However, guix seems such a niche project that I feel like it can’t really be used.

It could be an issue with the codecs (browsers are usually pretty limited in what they support). You could try to use a client like Jellyfin Media Player instead. It bundles libmpv, so it plays almost any video format there is.

You should put some quotes where you use the array:

not_what_you_think=( "a b" "c" "d" )
for sneaky in "${not_what_you_think[@]}"; do
  echo "This is sneaky: ${sneaky}"
done

This is sneaky: a b
This is sneaky: c
This is sneaky: d
