I did read section 2.6.1 but i could not understand the implications of the stated info.

I used the guix install script to install the guix package manager onto trisquel, which is an ubuntu based distro.

i have been putting my environment variables in .profile and am not familiar with using systemd. would you provide more specific info for what exactly to do in steps as far as adding this guix locale support properly into my systemd setup?

this might be a good feature to add to future versions of the guix package manager installer script.

Thank you for your assistance :)
