The documentation about using GuixSD in a virtual machine has grown organically in response to user questions and complaints, and I think it's become sort of confusing for beginners. All the relevant information is in the manual, and it's easy for experienced Guix users to find what they need. However, it's not clear to a beginner which section is relevant to their needs, and how they are related. Also, there are some subtly misleading instructions. I'll restructure and rewrite these sections in the next few days and solicit feedback here. Please reply if you have any specific advice or complaints.
