I think this is not just about newbie users, but also a reminder of
the full list of what you have to go through to clean up your system
(including system profiles which take up a lot of space).
I've used Guix for a while now and I still frequently forget to clean up
either one of these profiles: Guix, default, non-defaults, system.
I think it's fine if the list has 4 items instead of 1: if the newcomer
does not understand everything, they'll move on. Once they do
understand, they will be properly reminded to do it.

Does
sudo guix gc --delete-duration=DURATION
delete all profiles including system profiles and non-default profiles?
If so, then it's fine but:
1. The user might not want to delete profiles of other users.
2. It requires root privileges.
Thoughts?
Cheers!
