Check this: https://forums.whonix.org/t/constrained-system-resources-program-starter-wrapper/10914 maybe something like this if guix devs done will solve alot of headaches. Leo Famulari:

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.
