Morning,
I'm not if this is the appropriate place but here's a reasonably
thorough look at the new user experience for the guix system which may
be of interest. In summary it was a somewhat rocky.

I haven't done much more than install it myself, but one line in
particular jumped out at me:
In short, we should either already know how to use Guix or have a
second computer available to look up documentation and examples.
Actually my initial take was that it was the documentation itself that
assumes you already know how to use it. The jargon was a quite heavy
for example. The author also notes the poor performance of the package
manager, and I concur - even using considerably more powerful hardware
than they did although I also installed it in VirtualBox.
