I want to install Guix System Distribution (or GuixSD, or just Guix) alongside some other distros. The problem is, Guix doesn't recognise Realtek drivers, which are nonfree, so I can't use WiFi. I can install Guix with Ethernet, but it is very unstable, so I want to install it with my existing Debian (buster) installation so I can then add the Nonguix channel and install the drivers. Problem is, I don't really know how.
I'm pretty sure it includes installing Guix onto Debian, installing some packages, and strapping GuixSD onto the root (atleast, that's how NixOS does it, which Guix is inspired by) or it includes chrooting into the ISO.
I would appreciate any help possible.
