Today, Guix provides a script that allows to install on any foreign Linux distribution. Somehow, it is already “Guix for Desktop”, no? ;-) Guix provides a “nightly“ VM. And, IIRC, Guix is also available via upstream Gnome boxes. Somehow, it is already “Guix for Desktop”, no? ;-) What do you have in mind for smoothing the workflow of end-user running Guix? I agree that things are lacking for more adoption but I miss what you would have in mind with “Guix for Desktop”. Could you elaborate? Cheers, simon
