I had some cool ideas/features for things that GuixSD could potentially
add, and I wanted to share. Are any of these possible?
#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
(operating system
(keymap "dvorak")
...)
#+END_SRC
The above would make the bootloader, console, X, and wayland all use the
dvorak layout. That would be a nice feature! I currently use "dvorak",
and it's slightly annoying that grub uses qwerty. :(
#+BEGIN_SRC
(user-account
(name "joshua")
(default-font "font-hack"))
#+END_SRC
The above would set a default font for the user joshua.
How about a hook that stores the user's profile of packages in a
manifest file after every package transaction (upgrade or downgrade)?
#+BEGIN_SRC
(user-account
(name "joshua")
(updates-in-manifest #t)
(manifest-file "/etc/manifest.scm"))
#+END_SRC
How about automatic updates? Since a guixSD user can always downgrade
to the previous version, it would be nice if it would automatically
update my user profile, root profile and reconfigure say once a week.
#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
(operating system
(auto-upgrade #t)
(auto-upgrade-interval 'once-a-week)
...)
#+END_SRC
