Hello, while not abandoned, i686 support in Guix is not well maintained.
Which means less packages are available compare to x86_64, and require
more time build (and maybe fixing) packages yourself instead of download
prebuilt ones ('substitutes' in guix terms).

I'll give a quick answer, more info can be find in the guix manual and
online videos.

Underhood, it's very different to apt, see the manual for details.

Hope this will help!
