Weirdly....I'm not certain that I want guix on my pinephone.  Specifically 
I got my Pinephone, because I was tired of google's spyware.  AND I wanted
a life phone, which is a phone that is so boring to use, you put it down
and go live a life instead.  :)

I've actually installed Mobian, removed the user "mobian" from the 
suoders list, and had my mom change the root password on my phone.  
So, my phone by design does not have firefox or tootle installed...

If I installed guix system, I could re-install those annoying apps 
that drain my life away.  It would be nice if guix system could 
create a user that is not allowed to install applications, or had
only a whitelist of applications that he could install. 

That's my two cents.  :)
