Hi
I am interested in trying GuixSD
I attempted it few times with no success.
So:
Question:
Is GuixSD for the time being only for people who know what they're doing?
Can GuixSD be installed on Macbook Air?
Is using QEMU easy and straight forward or is it not for beginners??
Context:
I tried to install Guix on my Macbook Air with a USB but this did not work as the system reports that:

Then I tried installing via QEMU
Following the online instructions - after initial failures I managed to get the VM looking like its doing something -
I went through the graphical instlaler then downloading and building of package form gnu store begun.
After 5 hours i had to abort the install.
Thanks
