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:

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.
