Have you tried the Binary Install?  Especially the guix-install.sh shell
installer script as describe in the manual?

https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html

If yes, could you report your attempt on guix-devel or help-guix and
especially what is failing.

Because AFAIK it should work.  I mean, the issues arise when one wants
to have only one daemon and only one store.  In this case, it is tricky,
on both sides; even I am not sure that the daemon could be shared.  And
sharing the store is possible on the paper but I am not convinced at all
it works on daily basis.

You mean the equivalent of [1] on the Nix side, right?
