Hi Brian,

Yeah, that's Guix for you.  We provide perfect prerequisites, which can
involve many similar versions of the same stuff.

I had 25 GB VM for a while and it was fine, but I did not reconfigure
often.  Also, if you run any kind of graphical enviroment, which you
probably didn't, a root partition of 200 GB may be more appropriate.

Kind regards
Felix
