I also have a few questions:

1=2E I am opting to run Guix in a virtual machine on a kali linu= x=2E  I have found this resource: https://guix=2Egnu=2Eorg/manual/en/html_node/Running-Guix-in-a-VM=2Ehtml#= Running-Guix-in-a-VM=2E Given your experience, would this cause a problem down the line? Any reco= mmendation on running Guix in a virtual machine vs on my PC?

2=2E Upon making contributions, where is it posted? and how do I see = feedbacks? I have seen lists of open projects and discussion treads such as= this (https://is= sues=2Eguix=2Egnu=2Eorg/issue/22138)  on the Guix patch tracker=2E Are these the issues we currently working on? 


3=2E Any beginner tips? and a good place to start?
