Hello, I have Guix running on one computer already, and wanted to set it up on another, a ThinkPad L390 Yoga. This was previously running Debian, but I wiped it to put Guix on, by running `sudo dd if
I believe the board and APU came out around 2014. The cpu is an AMD AM1. The mother board is the gigabyte AM1M-S2H. The specification for that board is here: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-A
