Copied from my previous message [0]:
------
I don't know if there is a design choice here, but the steps required to
authorize substitutes for Guix on another distro require root. So, we
can't make it "just work" without the user elevating their privileges.
It's not the only part of our installation guide that requires root,
however.
On GuixSD, we can control the entire system during installation, so we
enable substitutes by default.
