By my own observation, systems including Guix either officially
or by third-party / community methods:

Archlinux: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/guix/
Gentoo: https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-apps/guix
Debian: from past discussion and on request from Whonix iirc it is currently
        not possible due to Debian Packaging Standards (expected package
        behavior) or something along the lines, see guix-devel archives.
Fedora: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lantw44/guix/
Slackware: https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/guix/
           is on 0.12, needs an update. Any slacker up for that task?
           Otherwise, ping the maintainer:

We could mention those on the Download page?
