it is built so that non-free packages can be made easily available (e.g. the non-guix channel). being sort of a meta-OS, already a bunch of operating systems were built on top of it, arguably easier to just get started as a novice

Just go for it! It’ll be fun. You will find yourself navigating your digital life (or at least: most of it) at relative ease with less distractions and graphical fuzz you otherwise get.

You can make it work by changing your UserAgent string (there’s plugins for that) to some older chrome version to make things work.
Or you opt for an operating system that lers you roll-back whole generations for when such a thing happens (GNU Guix for the win!)
WDYM the repos are very slow?
