Does that mean almost every user who gonna use guix system which will
eventually fall into the same issue you gonna tell oh sorry default
doesnt help do 123? we need solutions for the future, solutions for the
coming users not workarounds.

Im doing what guix default doing, didnt play with anything and if the
default may require more than 10GB of rams this distro wont reach the
sunlight for the end, Because even if it reaches he gonna delete it
later due to issues similar to this one.

If this is not enough to install simple common used packages like
libreoffice or onionshare..etc then this is big issue if guix considered to
be targeting average users.
In Qubes distro 4GB is worthless/nothing the minimum is like 8GB and above.
If guix is the same thing then no problem but for surely it need to be
mentioned somewhere obvious(i didnt find it anywhere saying that).
The ideal situation is that substitutes for these packages are
available, and you don't have to build them.
Using current Guix master branch, I receive a substitute for
libreoffice. Maybe you just need to update, with `guix pull`?
In general, if you want to compile software, there will be some programs
that require a lot of computer to compile. Not even 10 GB RAM will be
enough in all cases.
