I'm using the Guix System with this Guix:

guix describe
Generation 73   Apr 22 2020 18:37:14    (current)
  sirgazil-x 5ef0404
    repository URL: https://gitlab.com/sirgazil/guix-channel-x.git
    branch: master
    commit: 5ef04045d14e154e7792b42762155be63cf34076
  guix 179c59c
    repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
    branch: master
    commit: 179c59c3d3a7c446f0c0e4b55f799ad3a2abc48c

And I've already seen that before (I mean those bars before the @ sign, etc.), 
but I don't know how it is supposed to be presented. That information usually 
makes no sense to me :P

I've been using flatpak, and the information you see while things are 
downloading is quite legible and succinct, unlike guix.
