It also can be problematic, we can't hardcode ~/.config/guix home due to XDG spec, and at the same time XDG_CONFIG_HOME can be managed by Guix Home, but also can be set outside, and all the points mentioned above applicable here as well. Back in the day, the implementation of Guix Home required a symlink in home directory, right now due to improvements in symlink-manager and reconfigure code it's probably not necessary and with a few patches /var/guix/profiles/per-user/bob/guix-home/ can be used instead. -- Best regards, Andrew Tropin
