Turning off the smooth scrolling helps a little but actually, I see a pretty noticeable difference in responsiveness between the version 52 and version 60 icecat on my system. I can switch between my old and new setup from the boot menu, and I find that the older 52 version is faster and smoot

Thanks all for the help and advice on handling package upgrades and memory management. I have been able to update my system now and use icecat version 60. I can verify that the tab crash appears to be resolved with this new version of icecat on my PC, however I also now notice that scrolling

I have been trying to upgrade the icecat package. I am using the 'guix system reconfigure' command, but seem to be running out of disk space. It is also starting to compile some things instead of using substitutes, but maybe I need to wait for the servers to settle down. Currently after runn

I am running GuixSD on a 2008 model Dell Inspiron with I believe to be an Intel T5300 core 2 CPU. I have only just started using GuixSD for less than a year now, and still on the learning curve. So, do you think the tab crash I see with Icecat could be related to the hardware on my PC? On 2
