Hi There,
I have just tested to extract guix.iso.xz using Xarchiver and tried to
install guix.iso on a vbox, The image wont be readable/identified for
installation.
Only way to make it work is by using unxz command.

Thanks for the report.
I installed Xarchiver and used it to extract the iso.xz to /tmp.
Then I did this:
------
$ file guix-system-install-1.2.0.x86_64-linux.iso
guix-system-install-1.2.0.x86_64-linux.iso: DOS/MBR boot sector; GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version 0x79, boot drive 0xbb, stage2 address 0x8e70, 1st sector stage2 0xb8db31c3, stage2 segment 0x201
------
So, I think it worked?
I found Xarchiver somewhat complicated...
