You’re welcome to give it a try!  Like Leo wrote, you could essentially
start from the gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl OS.  You can pass it to
‘guix system vm’ image to try it out, until you’re satisfied with the
result.

At that point you can try ‘guix system vm-image’ and see how big the
result is.

Let us know how it goes!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
