Btw, beside user-specific services, we also already discussed
user-specific aliases for the `guix ...` commands. So now, there are at
least two things a user-specific configuration file could contain. :)
One, the system.scm would contain
(operating-system
; ...
(services
; ...
))
And secondly, each user could have a user.scm e.g. like
(user-configuration
; ...
(aliases
'(
("sysrec" "system reconfigure")
("pl" "pull")
; ...
))
(services
(emacs-daemon-service)
(dzen-service)
; ...
))
or similar :)
