I think this is not just about newbie users, but also a reminder of the full list of what you have to go through to clean up your system (including system profiles which take up a lot of space). I've used Guix for a while now and I still frequently forget to clean up either one of these profiles: Guix, default, non-defaults, system. I think it's fine if the list has 4 items instead of 1: if the newcomer does not understand everything, they'll move on. Once they do understand, they will be properly reminded to do it. > It looks a bit overwhelming to have to do all that just to make some > space in the store, especially when there is a single command to do all > of them. Does sudo guix gc --delete-duration=3DDURATION delete all profiles including system profiles and non-default profiles? If so, then it's fine but: 1. The user might not want to delete profiles of other users. 2. It requires root privileges. Thoughts?
