Hey Ludo!

So I’d suggest not capturing stdout of ‘guix system init’. In the bug report https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57983 capturing the 'guix system init' output highlighted a "guix substitute" crash. So it does seem like a useful mechanism, especially while 56005 is still open. Now the current situation is also not really acceptable. What about hiding the "guix system init" output completely and display a progress bar page instead? Thanks, Mathieu
