I believe that's the main misunderstanding here, `guix home` acts like `guix system`: it creates home generations, inside which there is a profile. That profile is _not_ ~/.guix-profile, but rather ~/.guix-home/profile. They are disjoint and not operated on by the same commands, guix home will not touch ~/.guix-profile. If you configure your shell environment variables with guix home alone, I believe only the the guix home profile is available by default. Best, -- Josselin Poiret
