Being new to Guix, i went to the Download page:
https://www.gnu.org/s= oftware/guix/download/

immediately saw the 3 big options
read= their title/names
was confused what the difference might be between &qu= ot;GuixSD" and "Guix Binary"
could not find anything insi= de these 3 option's boxes that would help me
read the text below the= m
read the text above them
finally understood that the first option i= s the OS, and the second is only the packag-manager

i think that the= first option should have a title saying "Operating System install med= ium" or the like, and the second "Package-Manager for arbitrary L= inux".
nobody is going to read a small, regular text formatted, two= lines long paragraph on a download page, but this is very crucial informat= ion for everyone that gets there.


... sounds like a v= ery good project! :-)
