Generally, I recommend keeping the user profile separate from a lean system profile. This allows you to upgrade your system even if some of your user packages cannot currently be built for some reason. > It is also starting to compile some things instead of using > substitutes, but maybe I need to wait for the servers to settle down. That’s possible. You can get an overview of what’s going to be downloaded and what will be built with the “--dry-run” option. > Currently after running garbage collection, my installation is still > about 17GB on a 20GB partition.

You need to manually remove old links of the form /var/guix/profiles/system-*-link — be careful not to remove the link corresponding to the current system! After that you can run “guix gc”. -- Ricardo
