You do not have have to use all the code you found in the bug reports.
It should work out-of-box with your current version of Guix.
The channels are used with "guix pull -C /path/to/your/file.scm" and
'file.scm' respects the syntax presented here [1].

To see if the substitute is available or not, the command "guix
weather" fits your need [2].

However, the package ungoogled-chromium 78 is not available for the
system i686. You probably need to build it yourself (ressource
consuming) with "guix build ungoogled-chromium".
I am not sure that channel will help to fetch the result of any build.
Channel helps to add more recipes about how to build packages. And I
am not aware of other public substitutes server than
https://ci.guix.gnu.org.
Hope that helps,
