Currently the Guix Installer on Latest (13/11/2021-EU) is forcing gdm as session manager that just errors out with "Oh no!" following by useless error logs and messages that attempts to test your self control.

Proposing to implement an option to choose alternative session managers especially if the user selects non-GNOME desktop environment.

Jacob,

I've marked this nice-to-have improvement as such.

Er, this is the real bug…

Could you report it, along with the configuration required to
reproduce it?

Thanks,
