Hello, Guix Help!
As I've got here https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2018-10/msg00083.html <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2018-10/msg00083.html>
some devices cannot work without linux-firmware, requiring non-free software drivers. It is so bad.
I believe the issue can be solved by choosing devices that have proper support by linux-libre code. So how to do this? Is there any info how to choose devices working nice on linux-libre?

The manual gives a couple of hints:
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Hardware-Considerations.html
The problem is of course not specific to GuixSD, that’s why the manual
refers to H-Node, but there are probably other similar resources out
there.

Here's a list of places where you can get hardware that should be
