I am just wondering... how will this work on Guix System? Are users
going to be required to run guix-home with some kind of home gnome
service in order to use Gnome? Or is there any other plan?

On systemd this is easy as the user session is started basically
automatically, every user has it. But on Guix System with shepherd,
users do not need to have a user instance of shepherd running at all.
And the service configuration is also up to them, whereas on systemd
user services are also loadable from a common system location, so that
when you install packages it can provide a user service that the user
can simply start from the time of the installation, no configuration on
their side.
