... ~/.guix-profile and ~/.guix-home profiles do not have the same basic properties? ~/.guix-profile is to be managed imperatively with "guix install", "guix package -u" or such or semi-imperatively mostly- declaratively with "guix package -m" , whereas ~/.guix-home is in theory only to be managed with "guix home reconfigure"?" And except for not having a location in $HOME somewhere and not being mutatable, if that's you mean, "guix shell" produces the same kind of profile as "guix home" AFAICT? Or are you referring to home-shell-profile-configuration, which is yet another thing? Greetings, Maxime
