Good question; I don=E2=80=99t think there=E2=80=99s an easy way to escape,= it=E2=80=99s a bit of a trap. :-) What I would do is something like this (untested): 1. Make sure packages you need are installed on the system or in ~/.guix-profile, by running, say: guix package --export-manifest -p ~/.guix-home/profile/manifest > \ ~/my-manifest.scm guix package -m ~/my-manifest.scm 2. Restore dot files that were managed by Guix Home, for example by copying your original dot files from a backup such as the one created by =E2=80=98guix home reconfigure=E2=80=99: for i in .bashrc .bash_profile # add others here do rm "$HOME/$i" cp -v "$HOME/guix-home-backup-whatever-its-called/$i" "$HOME" fi 3. Remove your home profile: rm -v ~/.guix-home /var/guix/profiles/per-user/$USER/guix-home* IWBN to have a =E2=80=98guix home=E2=80=99 subcommand to do that automatica= lly. HTH! Ludo=E2=80=99.
