Hi!
Currently we display
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix package: warning: only 4.9% of free space available on /gnu/store
hint: Consider deleting old profile generations and collecting garbage, along
these lines:
guix gc --delete-generations=1m
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
when the drive has less than 5% free space.
I believe the 5% threshold to be not so relevant. Indeed, on a 1 TiB
partition, 5% is 50 GiB. I would not worry to much about deleting
generations then!
What about changing the threshold to 5 GiB?
By the way, this reminds me of the same Windows XP misfeature that bugged
millions of users for years :D

Well, I'd always receive the warning on one of my systems with only 20 GB of disk. Maybe make it 5GB or 5%, whichever is lower?
