Hi guix!
Guix System is not listed in ‘Create a Virtual Machine’ in GNOME Boxes,
which is rather absurd when GNOME Boxes has been installed via Guix
and when using Guix System.
‘Someone’ should fix this (preferably upstream, such that more people
will know about Guix), this ‘someone’ not being me, as my personal
TODO list is long enough as is.
Greetings,
Maxime.

I think gnome boxes uses libosinfo for proposing OSs. There is already some data about Guix at https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/osinfo-db/-/tree/master/data/os/guix.gnu.org
However, we only propose an xzipped iso (and not a raw iso file), so the data does not provide information on downloading. Either we have an outdated osinfo-db, or the lack of download option prevents boxes from showing it as a choice.

The reason for GNU Guix not showing up in GNOME Boxes appears to be that
the ISO9660 download URL is commented:
https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/osinfo-db/-/blob/master/data/os/guix.gnu.org/guix-1.1.xml.in#L15
I sent a new MR to add Guix 1.3.0 as well as Guix latest support here:

Let's see what happens!
Thanks,
Mathieu

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-boxes/-/merge_requests/462
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-boxes-logos/-/merge_requests/12
https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/osinfo-db/-/merge_requests/360/diffs
I applied those patches on c-u-f with:

aad44e9484cc5c7cef3bdae7e889b7013dfa7700
This means that we can now create Guix latest and Guix 1.3 virtual
machines in Gnome Boxes.
Closing this one,
Thanks,
Mathieu
