Hi Julien:
Thanks for your tips.

But is the GuixSD going to pull in changes from the git — do they get
propagated soon? I thought the system is more “stable” in terms of not using
the latest git pushed changes.

I'd like to do this, but don't know how to go about in — could you help me with
a simple example?
I've read the “Guix profiles in practice”¹ webpage, but don't understand how to
simply implement them like this?
I know how to declare a system and install GuixSD. So let's say, I'll have a
minimal system. Now I'd like to have StumpWM as the WM and then let's say
Emacs, MC, and LibreOffice as user apps.
Should I have two profiles — one for the home manager with StumpWM and one for
shiroikuma (myself, the user) with mc, emacs, and libreoffice in it?
What should they be — I'm not experienced enough to write them. Where do I call
/ declare them, how do I then update?
Sorry for going so in depth — but if you could post the full profile text for
this simple case and give me guidance on how to use it, I'd be much obliged.
Many thanks! :@)
