I think it'll make a difference on my server, where I am also having
issues updating. / was 99% full. :) It also only has 2GB of RAM with
maybe 20GB hard drive. So it is about the mimimal hardware that guix
system works. Maybe that's part of my issue. I could increase the hard
drive size.
My laptop should be easier to update. 8GB of RAM, 1TB SSD. I'll figure
it out eventually.

Not meant as a criticism to guix...but I actually prefer NOT to use guix
on my librem 5. apt vs. guix performance is wildly different! May I
ask why apt is SOOOOOO much faster?
