Yes you can install non-free software on Guix. By default Guix only ships with non-free software in its iso and standard repo, but there is a nonguix channel (read repo) which comes with all the non-free software I’ve ever needed.

I’ve been reading some more and I definitely want to give guix a spin. I guess that’s the advantage of nix as a tool: you can always install alongside your distro’s package manager if desired.
I’ll have to give it a try. There are ways to get non-free software on guix? Is it just not officially part of the distro?
