Thank you Chris !

I managed to launch the GUI client (virt-manager ?) but I found it too
dificult, with too many options to figure out

Maybe had I made sure that my user was in the libvirt group, the experience
would have been different

But I moved to my Fedora desktop and used Boxes. Way simpler

It'd be nice to have Boxes on GuixSD too
Maybe some day I'll send a patch ;-)
