GuixSD is the deprecated term. The new term is Guix System, which is running guix paired with the GNU shepherd as a GNU/Linux distro. Guix System implies that GNU/Linux is the host OS. I suppose that it might be possible to run Guix System in WSL, but I do not know of anyone that has tried it. Why don't you try to run the installer script on WSL first? That would get running guix as a package manager in WSL. Then you could do some playing around. You could also try running Guix System inside a virtual machine in Windows. If you really want computing freedom, you might be interested in dual booting windows and Guix System. That way at boot time you could choose to boot into Windows or Guix System. I personally gave up Windows a long time ago. I prefer GNU/Linux because I want to be able to watch all the sappy romantic comedies I want and not report it to Big Brother. :) > > -Kevin > -- Joshua Branson (joshuaBPMan in #guix) Sent from Emacs and Gnus https://gnucode.me https://video.hardlimit.com/accounts/joshua_branson/video-channels https://propernaming.org "You can have whatever you want, as long as you help enough other people get what they want." - Zig Ziglar
