Running Guix in VM

There are various options that can be used to start the VM. Those options are all documented in the startvm.sh script. Feel free to change the opttions that best suit your host OS and hardware. For example, when running on a Linux host, you might want to use the --accel=kvm switch, for better performance, or you may want to lower the cpus value, to lower the impact on your host OS workload.
