Why sudo guix pull?  It should be without sudo, am I wrong?

Guix on ‘foreign’ distributions uses the root profile for the daemon by default (i.e. in guix-daemon.service).

You could change this to a regular user's profile, but that amounts to giving this user passwordless root access.

Kind regards,
