Hi juh,

The Guix project will not distribute or recommend non-free software, as
it abides by the Free System Distribution Guidelines:

   https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html

If such an inofficial installer image existed (which can easily be built
with Guix just like the official image is generated) it would thus not
be hosted or advertised on the project web site.
