I heard somewhere that they are going to include it in the distro, so no guix deploy afaik, just the package manager itself as a package you can install. This should bring a lot more attention to the project at least.
Guix is now in debian and apt-installable in ubuntu 21.04. Installation was the biggest hurdle, and there are still some quirks even with the debian installation--- you've got to set up your shell environment correctly to use it--- but in general it's super easy.
