Hey Dylan, this is a very cool proposal.
You said, "Although a good techie should not judge a distro by its
installer wizard, first impressions do matter. A smooth install is
satisfying, which helps establish a good relationship with new users
right away."
I could not agree more!
Reading your proposal and another on installation prompted me to write
some general thoughts about Guix installation which you might find
interesting:

Good luck - George
