At least as long as you don’t really need WiFi of course…
Hey, now – the NonGuix repo. exists!
_
For those unfamiliar, it contains software with proprietary elements that otherwise can’t make it into the Guix software repository, à la non-free for Debian.
You can get the normal Linux kernel and all the hardware compatibility you’d typically expect easily through NonGuix.
Firefox’s use of Encrypted Media Extensions violates the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines as it allows for playing of DRM-protected content which can steer people to non-free software (there may be additional other reasons but that’s one I definitely know of).
But it’s perfectly available in NonGuix; I use Firefox regularly on Guix.
It was added about 2 years ago. Admittedly, Guix is a smaller distro so some packages aren’t packaged immediately just as a consequence of a lack of human resources; but it also continues to improve over time, quite nicely.

For some reason, stuff like libre wolf isn’t in the guix repo. Not even Firefox. It’s very confusing.

As for Librewolf, I’m not sure that’s accurate? I see it available in the default Guix repo.s, latest version: https://packages.guix.gnu.org/packages/librewolf/.
