Thx I had found that kvm info too.
Sadly GuixSD suffers breakdown after the install of python for some
weird reason.
My idea was to do GUI programming stuff with guile-gnome-platform
available also on NixOS and as a NixOS package.
But to get the hello-world going requires quite some effort, I found.
And my NixOS install went haywire after only a few hours.
Meanwhile I found the Mr.Ed GUI-designer for Dr.Racket-GUI (racket
scheme) which gets you started way faster.
https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/package/mred-designer
seems more useable than Boa-Constructor even.
Maybe I drop guile in favour of racket hence. running WxGlade LISP code
with guile seems quirky too.
