Guix backend for PackageKit (https://issues.guix.gnu.org/17152) > 2. A GTK program written by Danny Milosavljevic in Guile (https://gitlab.= com/daym/guix-gui/) > 3. A Qt program written for a non-FSDG distro downstream of Guix System (= https://git.pantherx.org/development/applications/px-software) > 4. Emacs-Guix, currently broken (https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55013) > > Which of these should be worked on?

Longer-term, #1 may be more fruitful, although one drawback is that PackageKit/GNOME Software may be biased towards system-wide, root-restricted installations. Ludo=E2=80=99.
