I use the Guix System Distribution (GuixSD) on both a T60 and an X200s.
I did *not* compile everything from scratch but used binary substitutes
for the vast majority of packages.
Unless you *want* to build *everything* from scratch, be sure to enable
binary substitutes by authorising the build farm hydra.gnu.org with:
guix import --authorize < /path/to/hydras.public.key

You can most definitely use a different locale, but you will have to
install the glibc-locales package or else applications won't be able to
find the appropriate strings.
