Hi,

More specifically, we cannot guarantee that an off-line installation
would work because it depends on the software and services you’ll
choose.

Right, this one’s already filed.

Did you try the graphical installation?

  https://guix.gnu.org/en/videos/system-graphical-installer/

It’s key strokes rather than clicks, but I think it addresses most of
the issues you describe.

> - Give trial usage of the distro for the user before installing it

Did you try the live VM image?

  https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/

I’m closing because I don’t see anything actionable.  Please file issues
focused on specific problems.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
