@section Limitations
As of version @value{VERSION}, Guix System is
not production-ready. It may contain bugs and lack important
features. Thus, if you are looking for a stable production system that
respects your freedom as a computer user, a good solution at this point
is to consider @url{http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html, one of
the more established GNU/Linux distributions}. We hope you can soon switch
to the Guix System without fear, of course. In the meantime, you can
also keep using your distribution and try out the package manager on top
of it (@pxref{Installation}).
We consider Guix System to be ready for a wide range of ``dekstop'' and server
use cases. The reliability guarantees it provides---transactional upgrades
and rollbacks, reproducibility---make it a solid foundation.
Before you proceed with the installation, be aware of the following
noteworthy limitations applicable to version @value{VERSION}:
