I just tried to install guix on desktop system by piggy-backing from a disk-image created on a laptop.
I chose "Guided - using the entire disk with encryption" option. I then selected GNOME, openbox, and ratpoison to be installed as desktop environments. I'm not sure if that's relevant, but wanted to be thorough in case this may be limited to a GNOME issue. The installation errored out with the following message: > guix system: error: python-pep8-stdlib-tokenize-compat.patch: patch not found Thus the guix on the disk image seems to be missing the patch mentioned in the issue below (corresponding to the python-pep8 package): https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/36643
