However, I don't think profiles belong in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, for the simple reason that they are not configuration. If you really want to follow the xdg basedir spec, they would go in $XDG_DATA_HOME (~/.local/share). Personally, I already keep my profiles in ~/.local/guix, which fits my brain well but is not xdg compliant either.

Yes, it make sense to me.

 + ~/.config/guix/current because it is configuration, somehow. Channels too.
 + ~/.local/share/guix for all the other user profiles

And I agree that ~/.local/guix fits better. :-)

But one could also argument that the profiles are configuration and
not data because they are sourced. Well, bikeshedding. ;-)

All the best,
