Well, I mean a wrapper script looks similar to this in /usr/bin or
/usr/local/bin:
#!/path/to/store/bash
# A wrapper named guix lives in /usr/bin/ or /usr/local/bin
exec $HOME/.config/guix/current/bin/guix "$@"
I might be wrong, please forgive my poor knowledge.

Thanks for the explanation, but running $ls shows:
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 fis fis 44 Mar 28 16:41 .guix-profile -> /var/guix/profiles/per-user/fis/guix-profile
You are talking about the same directory
"/var/guix/profiles/per-user/$USER/guix-profile" and "~/.guix-profile".
That's fine, I am waiting for the new feature to land home in my
device anyway. I will inspect more closely then.

That sounds really nice! Thanks!

Interesting, you never run out of acronym :). If it means "hope this
help", sure, thanks for the reply.
