Thank you Chris ! I managed to launch the GUI client (virt-manager ?) but I found it too dificult, with too many options to figure out Maybe had I made sure that my user was in the libvirt group, the experience would have been different But I moved to my Fedora desktop and used Boxes. Way simpler It'd be nice to have Boxes on GuixSD too Maybe some day I'll send a patch ;-)
