Guix (the package manager) 100%. All you need to do is follow the setup
instructions in the manual.
GuixSD (the distro) is a bit more tricky. You will need to
(cross-)compile an image with a bootloader compatible with the pinebook
pro. If the pinebook pro has a particular source for uboot, you will
have to make a package from that source.
