There is a Gnome Display Manager (GDM) service [1], which should be capable
of Wayland, but it requires a work on.

Both of them allow configuration. The ‘(*-service)’ calls ‘(service
*-service-type)’. For example, ‘(gdm-service)’ from [1] does this.
Last developed services provides only ‘(service *-service-type)’.

‘%desktop-services’ from a desktop template [2] provides a
‘network-manager-service-type’ which should setup a network according to
DHCP server. Another approach is ‘dhcp-client-service’.

No ‘guix pull’ recommended before ‘guix init’ in the manual. ‘guix
init’ was tested much more on a Guix release version (without ‘pull’).
I recommend to start with an example template like [2] or with a
smallest configuration as possible.
