You could install Guix System that way. > Well, that is one possibility but I just got docker working and apparently there's a pretty automated way to convert a docker image to a wsl2 one so I'm going to take a stab at that. WSL2 seems to be a fair bit lighter weight than a full blown VM. I guess it's kind of a hybrid between a container and a VM. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/announcing-wsl-2/ > Ok. Well best of luck! > Thanks, If I don't get this soon, I guess I'm going to whip out the external hard drive, save off all my important stuff, and go full Guix native then spin up windows in VMs when I need it, but I have little doubt configuration of some of these windows programs (which drive hardware) will probably be a whole nother headache! -Kevin
