Yes.  It is the profile that =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D uses to install Gu=
ix and
nothing more than that.

This sets all environment variables that Guix suggests to set when you
install packages.

On a foreign distro you need this, yes.

>     export XDG_DATA_DIRS=3D"$HOME/.guix-profile/share:${XDG_DATA_DIRS}"

You don=E2=80=99t need this as it will be set by sourcing etc/profile if
necessary.  (Guix would have added it to etc/profile if it was required.)

You can ignore this when you=E2=80=99re using Bash and you=E2=80=99re sourc=
e=E2=80=99ing
$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile, because that file will contain all of these
recommendations.

What =E2=80=9Cguix=E2=80=9D are you using?  What does =E2=80=9Cwhich guix=
=E2=80=9D tell you?
