I'm writing this from my phone after a 3 hour attempt to fix my Guix system without success, it seems totally FUBAR.
So here is what I did:
$ guix package -I runc
Shortly after, my battery ran out and my laptop did a hard reset (yes trying to configure hibernate on low battery has been on my todo list for a while). I think the above command already finished when it reset, but I'm not entirely sure. It's been some hours.
So the current situation is this:
* All GUI apps I tried give "command not found", hence no Firefox or Thunderbird.
* My ~/.guix-profile/manifest is empty. Meaning that all guix package commands done in this profile give "unsupported manifest format".
* Idk if this is normal, but listing profiles as my regular user lists two profiles: ~/.guix-profile and ~/.config/guix/current.
I tried various things:
* editing PATH to remove my user profile (thinking this might use another runc)
* running guix package -r from a root bash using the --profile= flag for the broken profile: same manifest error. When doing this for the ~/.config/guix/current profile, it says no runc found.
* guix pull, reconfigure and reboot from root
* asking for help on IRC (weechat works yay)
I'm kinda hopeless. I can't do anything productive.
If I should post this in a forum instead of here, feel free to forward me.

I figured if my current profile is broken, somehow I should fix it or
roll it back. I also figure reinstalling my system won't work if I keep
my home directory.
I also still don't understand why I have two different profiles and I
don't know what is the different between profiles and whatever `guix
home` does.
But I tried some things:
$ guix home roll-back
guix home: error: cannot switch to home environment generation '-1'
$ guix home list-generations
Backtrace:
7 (primitive-load "/home/steven/.config/guix/current/bin/…")
In guix/ui.scm:
2300:7 6 (run-guix . _)
2263:10 5 (run-guix-command _ . _)
In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
1752:10 4 (with-exception-handler _ _ #:unwind? _ # _)
In guix/status.scm:
859:3 3 (_)
839:4 2 (call-with-status-report _ _)
In unknown file:
1 (raise #<&profile-not-found-error profile: "/var/guix/p…>)
In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
1685:16 0 (raise-exception _ #:continuable? _)
ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception:
Wrong type (expecting exact integer): #<&profile-not-found-error
profile: "/var/guix/profiles/per-user/steven/guix-home">
$ guix home describe
guix home: error: no home environment generation, nothing to describe
So I guess I'm not using `guix home`.
Just to help me move forward, is there a summary on what profiles
actually are? Because they are separate from the guix system packages
that it also seems separate from guix home.

Ok, I don't know how to close this issue, but I managed to fix it with
guix package --roll-back. I took me so long to find that possibility
because both `guix system` and `guix home` have a `roll-back` *command*
while in packages it's a flag. I thought it was for individual packages
maybe.
I don't know how to close issues here, but someone feel free to close this.
