Hard to say. For example, getting ibus working correctly took me a while, and I somewhat needed it. But also, I am not using a Desktop Environment, so I made my life harder on my own. What I would suggest is to start with a virtual machine. Guix has a command (`guix system vm') to build a virtual machine from your configuration, so I would suggest starting with that. Get your configuration to the point when it creates a running virtual machine that you would consider "usable" for daily work. Once you are that point, getting it running on a real hardware should definitely fit within a day (assuming you use that one channel that shall be not named in order to have working GPU and WiFi). Overall this will be slightly more work, but should result on lower downtime and less surprises on the way. Happy Guixing.
