Hi Ludo,

I tested the foreign distro installation of guix-binary-1.4.0rc2.aarch64-linux.tar.xz
on Asahi Linux. I went through the installation without any problems.

After that I reconfigured my Guix home. I had to remove the inkscape, pandoc,
emacs-ox-pandoc and qgis packages because they were not supported on aarch64,
but apart from that everything seems to work.

Great job of everyone involved!

Roman.
