Thanks for the confirmation. Really appreciate the help :)
So I did move it to /tmp and was able to proceed.
Now at step 5
I chose the 'If your host distro uses the systemd init system' option
I get:
systemctl start guix-daemon && systemctl enable guix-daemon
Failed to execute operation: Too many levels of symbolic links
I have created these links
ln -s ~root/.guix-profile/lib/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service
/etc/systemd/system/
ln -sf /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile
~root/.guix-profile
Any ideas?
