Hi!

I just wanted to report (although this is probably already
known) that I had to wait for a long time (probably more than a
minute) staring at "Welcome to Grub!" screen upon reboot, after
accumulating thousands of guix system generations. I was
experimenting with something and I suspected that was the cause
- sure enough, after deleting them all with guix system
delete-generations command, the delay disappeared.
Just reporting 😄
And thank you for it! If this is where Guix ends up when left
unattended, it should be fixed.
Easy to do by making the ‘old generations’ submenu a separate file
that's loaded ‘on demand’. Actually doing so would still take as
long, so the next logical step is to split it further into chunks.
How, I guess, depends on how people actually use & browse
thousands of generations. Do you?
Kind regards,
T G-R
