Most likely your .bashrc, .bash_profile, or similar is overriding PATH
and other environment variables defined by =E2=80=98guix environment=E2=80=
=99, which is
why /usr/bin/guile2 takes precedence.

See the footnote at
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Invoking-guix-environme=
nt.html#FOOT15>.
