Havent used it but from what I see it looks like a configured guix setup, like how fedora atomic desktop is to ublue

It is just another Guix channel, like nonguix. People tend to forget about how easy it is to extend Guix.

Hi, how it works is that RDE is like a big guix configuration. So it makes like a superset of Guix System.
So it can be considered a distro based on Guix if you want, although its just Guix with a channel on the technical side.

Think of Guix like a pile of mud that you can mold and shape it to have nearly any properties that you want.
Those molding steps that create RDE do create an operating system but at its core, it is just a shaping of that pile of mud.
In such if we define an operating system in those terms, then every Guix user has created their own distro as well.

Also if you look at the history, guix home was first developed in RDE, and then upstreamed to Guix. So the two projects are very close.

Yes definitely! One of the goals is to implement some kind of network propagation to the services (features in this case) to have much better composability :)
