6 Or, even, don't switch profiles. I have this:
7
8 $ eselect profile list
9 Available profile symlink targets:
10 [1] default/linux/amd64/13.0 *
11 [2] default/linux/amd64/13.0/selinux
12 [3] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop
13 [4] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome
14 [5] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome/systemd
15 [6] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde
16 [7] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde/systemd
17 [...]

19 I don't use the kde profile because it pulls in a lot of stuff I don't need.
20 Also, this way I kid myself I know more about how my system is put together,
21 as I have quite a few entries in package.use. :)
