|| Profiles simplify managing and switching between ''user environments'', and thus control which applications and system configurations are in active use. Generally, a ''profile'' is a link to a ''generation'', and the corresponding '''profiles''' folder collects a list of generations. A standalone Nix installation (i.e. on a Linux distro that is not NixOS) operates mainly on ''user'' profiles. In NixOS, there is also a ''system'' profile that manages the system-wide configuration (e.g. ''/etc'', the kernel, ''initrd'', ''systemd''). Other tools like [[Home Manager]] may also have their own profiles.
