In other words, what youʼve just said is: Guile does not need to support Windows, because you can always run GNU/Linux in a virtual machine. Iʼm afraid, such an attitude, if Guile is staking claim for being something more than a DSL for defining distro packages, is a decade premature at best. > Running Guile alone should be easier.

If Guix pack would fail to run on Ubuntu, because it is running on emulated hardware, it would mean that Guix is really broken. And we know, that itʼs not.
