Hi,

AppImage is a cross-distribution format as far as I know, so there shouldn't be any problems running them on Guix. The QuickStart guide looks pretty straightforward:

Generally, the most popular cross-distribution format is on Guix is Flatpak. You can find some blog posts out there about it, and there's instructions on their stie:

Best of luck

Futurile / Steve
