In general, you can always do a hard reboot and select an earlier GuixSD
generation from the GRUB menu if something goes wrong. It's not great to
do a hard reboot, but contemporary filesystems like ext4 tend to handle
it well enough.

I think QEMU is a fine test environment for GNOME as long as you can use
the Kernel-based Virtual Machine in QEMU, which allows the VM to run at
near-native speed. When starting QEMU you'd pass '-enable-kvm'. Older
hardware may not offer KVM, unfortunately.

Thanks, I'll keep you in mind :)
