Unfortunately that seems to not have fixed the problem. I am still
seeing blank lines between every line of text. This time also the
quotation levels ('>' characters at the beginning of the line) are also
off: some new text you wrote is multiple quotations in. I won't fix them
in this message so you can see more clearly what I'm talking about.

Luckily Guix is a great operating system for risky attempts due to
atomic updates and full system roll back.

I haven't tried this myself, but it should be possible by just adding the
following block (copied from the manual and increased the sizes to be
more useful) after the line with `(service cups-service-type)` (for
example, that line isn't special in any other way except that it is
inside the service list):

```
(service hurd-vm-service-type
         (hurd-vm-configuration
          (disk-size (* 10 (expt 2 30)))   ; 10 GiB
          (memory-size 2048)))             ; 2048 MiB
```
