Hi There,
When someone taking the manual-cli installation of GuixOS, And reaching
where he will fill the config.scm, Parts of it really annoying to fill
like UUID. If possible change it to the partition name only like
sda1,xvda1..etc and let guix take the needed uuid from there (or any
other method possible).
ThX!

When installing Guix System manually, you are free to choose how to
refer to devices: by their /dev name (not recommended), by UUID, or by
file system label.
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/File-Systems.html#index-file_002dsystem
The graphical installer is meant to simplify the initial configuration:
you do the initial installation with it, and from there you can tweak
the generated config—easier than starting from a blank page.
I’m closing this bug because I don’t see anything more we could do.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
