It means stop sourcing guix-profile/etc/profile at .bash_profile, and use packages from Fedora's repo rather than guix. I tried nix a little before I met guix, I did noticed they don't export this much environment variables in its profile file, they just wrap/patch those needed programms. I tried to compare nix with guix by installing a similar set of packages from both platform. On the nix side, the only non-prefixed environment variable exported is PATH, while guix exported lots of other envs. (Not exactly the same the same set of packages, but the comparison does not loss it's meaning). Those exported envs are real problem on a foreign distribution. I will post the profile files in another thread latter if its helpful.
