Hi,

Do we have any update on how to install Guix System, or Guix package
manager, on a new computer while avoiding the vulnerabilities fixed this
summer ?

I would love to switch my laptop to Guix System. Now, it's on
Fedora + Guix package manager. Does the Guix-daemon used on the
installation disk of Guix System is still vulnerable ?

I quote my initial message bellow, where I list the different
installation methods:
