The Oxford comma or lack thereof are acceptable stylistic conventions, but not a grammatical error. There are only two conjucts here though, so I don't think the Oxford comma applies here. Additionally, the two conjucts are about mostly the same thing, but just different (similar!) subcases that merely happen to need different qualifications (unusable on non-Guix vs. likely unusable on different-arch Guix), so I don't think that 'also' brings something here.

Oops, the 'also' was present in the original. I removed 'also', but found it to be more readable with 'also', so I'm keeping 'also' anyways.

Greetings,
Maxime.
