During my first encounter with GuixSD, I could not connect to the
Internet for reasons that puzzled me, and I could not find any mention
of it in the manual either.
At first I assumed I had done something wrong with the setup.
I had tried to run wpa_supplicant manually, like I often do on other

As far as I can remember, the documentation example did not work for me.
I think it is because I had built a custom image on which nmcli was
running because the network-manager service was automatically started,

Beyond the installation process, I think my example is also relev

You are very true, and while the manual hints at
lightweight-desktop.scm, it does not go any further with respect to
giving an outlook of what to expect from it: which services, which
