Running all machines, I dunno. I do dual-boot Debian and GuixSD with them sharing the same user profile and store. On Debian, I bind-mount some directories from GuixSD's root partition. From /etc/fstab: UUID=d9cc11f0-e548-4526-a541-4f631a10b73c /mnt/guix/ ext4 defaults 0 2 /mnt/guix/var/guix /var/guix none defaults,bind 0 0 /mnt/guix/gnu /gnu none defaults,bind 0 0 Then /home/ is shared (and luks encrypted) on both distros. It works fine. If you want to do "same profile and store across all things" Ricardo Wurmus does some wild things using NFS.
