Hi,

True (but that’s generally the case on GNU/Linux and the reason why
things like Flatpak were built.)

To send an executable to another Guix machine, one would use ‘guix
copy’:

  https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-copy.html

But more generally, people would share “channels” containing complete
build-from-source instructions, along with “substitutes” (pre-built
binaries):

  https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Channels.html
  https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Substitutes.html

HTH,
Ludo’.
