I have a LibreM laptop. I'm not using it at the moment because I need
to send it in for repairs (and keep procrastinating on that) but I'll
say that GuixSD worked just fine out of the box.

I'm happy to publish my guix configuration if it helps, though I think
it isn't anything particularly special for the laptop to work.
That said I think I'd love more reports about what laptops/machines
people have gotten to work with GuixSD and what challenges they've run
into in general. It would be nice to collect that.
