Installing Guix on my Omnibook X

On my Omnibook, I'm running Windows 11, with Windows Subsystem for Linux hosting Ubuntu. I'd like to, within this stack, set up Guix, because after mucking about for a few months, I'm back to remembering that my old MUD designing brought me to it, after moving me from Python to Racket to Fennel.

According to the Guix Manual, I can simply sudo apt install guix and sudo guix pull , so I've started that, which as started a… very slow download of the Guix source code, I think.

So, I'm a bit stuck on that until later, at which point I'll look at how to get Emacs able to talk to my running Guix daemon, and from there, I can start looking at how to make my GnoponEmacs nodes into Guix packages, containers, and systems.

So in the meantime, I'll just dance around my files and tinker with them.
