thanksis there a possibility to run a guix pull for root and for the user together, in order not to do it twice, because it needs quite a long time, compared to other Linux distros, where updating takes only some minutes. (Debian based distros, Manjaro, Endeavour OS and so on).
If you do a guix pull, in my case I can´t do it at the end of my work, because I would have to wait for finishing more than 30 minutes.
Is it not better to run a guix pull also regularly for root, in order that root has also updated versions...
In my understanding (as a layman) it would leave root behind and leads may be to inconsistency's in the guix system.

If you use Guix System, you upgrade the system with `guix system reconfigure`.Note however that sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm uses the guix of the user who is running sudo. Seehttps://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/de/html_node/Nach-der-Systeminstallation.html It is therefore possible to never use root’s guix . Regards, Florian
