Yes, these two profiles are normally both loaded in the sense that the shell scripts ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile and ~/.guix-home/setup-environment are sourced. > It is a bit confusing at first for new user, what's the best workflow, > using the guix home declarative file and "reconfigure" or directly > guix install ? It depends on what you want to achieve. You could use also both at the same time. I like to use only Guix home to manage the packages that I need on a regular basis. However, this is mainly because I also have some dotfiles in my home-environment. If you just want to declaratively manage the packages you use, you could also do it with manifests=C2=B9. Additionally, sometimes, when I need a package, that I presumably only use once, I use =E2=80=98guix shell=E2=80=99=C2=B2 for it.
