Hi Simon,

I meant when I am starting Guix, I can choose to use MATE desktop or
Enlightenment Desktop.
If there is also the option to choose a certain profile, in case I have
more profils.
When I have choosen MATE desktop,
which profile opens?
I am worried, that, if I create a profile with only one package
"musescore" in it,
and if that opens, or after creating that profile,
I can't switch to my main profile.
So before creating a profile with only one package musecore in it
I want to be sure how I can switch to that profile and how I can choose
my other, my main profile.
Kind regards
Gottfried
