I can't use GNOME anymore because of the problem I explained in the following thread:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2020-02/msg00206.html

On recent system upgrades, the problem got worse. Before, I could get to the end of the day despite the leak; but now it takes around 3 hours for the .gnome-shell-real process run by the gdm user to eat the remaining RAM.

It seems that the bug is stronger in the GNOME desktop, but I've seen, at least once, .gnome-shell-real using an abnormal amount of RAM while in sway (about 800 MiB).

My current guix:
