Hi,

The display doesn't resize.

> - Which guest os you are connecting to?

I'm using a nonstandard guest os called guix system distribution.

Because it's only 4 years old and to answer the question why is this
guy using such a weird os I'll provide a quick description.

It's a source-based linux distro with a non-standard filesystem layout.
Everything is in
'/gnu/store/*hash-of-build-inputs*-*programname*-*programversion*'
which allows guix the package manager to check builds are
bit-reproducible and to challenge binary-caches. This helps
show/check/verify that there is a correspondence between source code
and binary.
It also features functional system description, all directories
except home are only writeable by the guix daemon. This provides
atomic rollbacks for any changes to system configuration.

> It would be great to understand what you are trying to do as the bug
could be something not explained.

I'm trying to package the spice service to improve the guixsd developing
experience. It's easy to `guix system vm configuration.scm` to create a
vm to test configuration or system services.

Cheers,
David
