Hi Guix. This is a continuation of a previous discussion [1]. I'm opening a standalone bug to try and track it better.
At present, when guix-home-service-type is used, new home generations are never created/registered. This causes commands that operate on home-generations to return inaccurate or garbage information. For instance, guix home describe -I will not report the current list of installed packages. Defining the interactions between guix-home-service-type and various guix home subcommands is challenging. The proper behavior is not always obvious [1]. Per a followup from Ludo [2], a good starting point is for a new home generation to be created when activating a new system while using guix-home-service-type.
