I'm not using it at the moment because I need to send it in for repairs (and keep procrastinating on that) but I'll say that GuixSD worked just fine out of the box. > Also, would it make sense for us to have a package specifically for > hardware like this to make it easier to build install images for the > machines?

I'm happy to publish my guix configuration if it helps, though I think it isn't anything particularly special for the laptop to work. That said I think I'd love more reports about what laptops/machines people have gotten to work with GuixSD and what challenges they've run into in general. It would be nice to collect that. - Chris
