Like Leo wrote, you could essenti= ally start from the gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl OS. You can pass it to =E2=80=98guix system vm=E2=80=99 image to try it out, until you=E2=80=99re = satisfied with the result. At that point you can try =E2=80=98guix system vm-image=E2=80=99 and see ho= w big the result is. Let us know how it goes! Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
