=E2=80=8BHi,

Is it possible to run two init processes? I believe not, but PID 1 (primary
init system) can start another PID 2 which could act secondary init system.
If this is possible and commonly employed then we can easily get all the
features of guixsd on a standard linux distribution. It will be really
useful for beginners who are frustrated by standard distro but do not have
time to learn the whole guix ecosystem at once before using it reliably.

Thanks,
Rohit=E2=80=8B
