Dual booting allowed me to switch to GuixSD a lot more feasibly than I could have otherwise. I installed it on this laptop right before a 3 month trip. Dual booting meant that when something wasn't in GuixSD yet, no problem, I could switch to Debian for a bit. Then I could work on packages at my leisure to switch over. The trick was realizing that the grub that Guix generates wasn't the one I should boot into... I needed to have Guix and Debian generate their own grub files on their own partitions, and then have a /boot/ grub which was reeeeaally small and simply had menu options to import those other grub files.
