Hi Eric. 8 GiB of RAM must be enough, since guix pull can run on 32-bit i686-linux.
Another idea would be to pull on one core guix pull --cores=1 or generally to enable more debug output like guix pull --debug=4 I remember how someone used Guix on Ubuntu in a UTM virtual machine on a Macbook and the VM behaved strangely at times until rebooted. Regards, Florian
