You do not have have to use all the code you found in the bug reports. It should work out-of-box with your current version of Guix. The channels are used with "guix pull -C /path/to/your/file.scm" and 'file.scm' respects the syntax presented here [1].

[2] https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-weather.html#Invoking-guix-weather However, the package ungoogled-chromium 78 is not available for the system i686. You probably need to build it yourself (ressource consuming) with "guix build ungoogled-chromium". I am not sure that channel will help to fetch the result of any build. Channel helps to add more recipes about how to build packages. And I am not aware of other public substitutes server than https://ci.guix.gnu.org. Hope that helps, simon
