See: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Running-GuixSD-in-a-VM.html 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.
