Maybe this is the right thing. Maybe the fastest path to a good GuixSD installation is via a minimal debian install + detrout's Guix package! That said it's a bit terrifying in some ways. I guess you could always work onto a separate partition, that would limit some of the terror. I moved a Debian or some other system over to NixOS at one point and whooo, running "mv /etc /old-etc" and similar commands can give you pause! But, I was also skeptical of the "just unpack the /gnu/store tarball and copy the sqlite file" approach, and that has turned out to work really well, so maybe this is a thing! Andy
