This message comes from GRUB. Not having read the GRUB docs closely, I
assume it refers to the bootloader style ("PC" vs EFI) rather than the
CPU architecture.
I agree it's a bit misleading, especially to non-technical users. I
wonder how it could be improved, however?
In the long run, I think we should offer a graphical interface to `guix
system`, `guix package`, etc, and in that case non-technical users would
never see this message.
