I realized that something was missing from the above manifest generators: the
outputs.
My shot at it:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
(use-modules (guix profiles)
(ice-9 match)
(ice-9 pretty-print))
(match (command-line)
((_ where)

So that you can use “./pre-inst-env guile” which makes sure that you’re
using the Guix modules
I think your solution is more elegant, Ricardo, because it's not robust to
change (the AWK parsing could break).
Question: why should we run it from a Guix checkout?

1. System-wide installation means packages are readily available to all users,
which can be nice, but users then don't have the freedom to remove them.
For maximal flexibility, it's often best to leave system-wide packages to the
bare minimum and let users choose what they want.

Hi great guix community,
1. What is the recommendations around when to install a package system
wide (via guix system reconfigure manifest.scm) vs in your user
profile? I'm confused if i3/various X packages and other desktop
