This is correct. As far as Guix is concerned “root” is just another user account. > But If I do a guix pull only in my user account, it would mean, as far > as I understand it, the root account would not get security updates? Correct. Note that “guix pull” alone doesn’t upgrade any installed packages. It only gives you a new version of Guix which has access to updated packages. > What should be the procedure? You can have all users on the machine share the same guix and/or the same profile and upgrade just that. On a single-user system it also makes sense to just not install any software for the root user. -- Ricardo
