Guix System - One Month Later

I do have a 12 core Ryzen CPU and 32 GBs of RAM,5 so it's not like I don't have the hardware usually. However, in this particular instance, even such mighty specs failed to cope with all of Icedove's dependencies (I believe it's webkit-gtk that fails specifically, but I'm not 100% sure), so after my PC crashed twice trying to update, I decided to try to pursue different avenues.

I'm surprised 32 GB of RAM and a recent CPU was not enough to build Icedove/Thunderbird and dependencies. Thunderbird and webkit-gtk seem to both recommend 8 GB of RAM. Maybe this was just an issue keeping the CPU cool enough to not crash?

Cool series of posts and super useful feedback, thanks!

Thanks for the post @nemin, hope to see you back into the guix world soon :D
