Any > recommendation on running Guix in a virtual machine vs on my PC? If you're happy installing Guix as a package manager within Kali, that might be easier than using a virtual machine. Both approaches should work though, and when you have an idea of what contributions you want to make, then you can work out which approach will be easier. > 2.

I have seen lists of open projects and discussion treads > such as this (https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/22138) on the Guix > patch tracker. Are these the issues we currently working on? It depends on the contribution, but in general patches are sent to the guix-patches@gnu.org email address, and then appear on the https://issues.guix.info/ site. There's some relevant guidance here: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html#Submitting-Patches > 3. Any beginner tips? and a good place to start? I believe there are two Outreachy projects for Guix, so if you have a particular one in mind, let us know. If you're looking for where to begin contributing, it could be something to do with one of the Outreachy projects, working on packages for Guix, working on the documentation, fixing bugs, or something else. But from your first question above, it looks like you've started in the right place, getting Guix up and running on your machine is a prerequisite to everything.
