Installing Guix as a Complete GNU/Linux System

In this video, I'll show you how to install the full system distribution of GNU Guix using the "graphical" installer. We'll be using the full Linux kernel with this installation approach so that Guix should work well with devices on your laptop or desktop computer, including WiFi! After we finish the installation, we'll learn how to update our system with the latest changes from the official Guix package repo and the Nonguix repo with the full Linux kernel.
