To complement Ian's reply, this is perfectly possible. For instance, guix package -u icecat will upgrade only icecat. guix package --do-not-upgrade ungoogled-chromium -u . will upgrade all packages except for ungoogled-chromium (which can be useful when there is no binary substitute yet and you prefer waiting a bit more instead of compiling it locally). Personally, I have all my software in one profile (about 90 packages), and do not experience any problem. If I need a different software just occasionally, I use guix shell this-other-software Andreas
