Do you mean guix as a package manager or as an OS?

Here was a good step by step guide by andyprough: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/installing-guix-trisquel-10-w-luakit-and-ungoogled-chromium

Espero que este te ayuda.

I also installed the Guix distro: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/trying-out-guix-distro

Be sure to read comment #14, as the graphical installer is the only way I could get it installed, and that was after partitioning the disk with Trisquel: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/trying-out-guix-distro#comment-163280

In the end I did not like it, and I wouldn't recommend using the distro unless the user had extremely advanced knowledge about how OS's work.

The instructions for putting Guix on a USB stick are here: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/USB-Stick-and-DVD-Installation.html

Come back and leave a comment to let us know how it works as a live USB distro for you!
