The last 30% of internet usage is work related stuff (checking email, issues for our internal git, time entry, etc. stuff that’s only available to “approved” browsers).

To make guix system work I had to compile my own proprietary kernel and build an installation image for it. Afterwards I’ve only had minor software and driver issues. I even have steam running now.

So I hear you and through stumpwm I guess I get to work with structured data for window management. It isn’t typed but windows are represented as objects to be manipulated. Thanks to the repl I can change window behavior on the fly and have it reflected immediately.

Guix provides structured ways of manipulating system services and configurations. Most of that stuff has an interface with scheme records.

For instance my sddm configuration is a scheme record that gets tangled (for lack of a better word) into a text file.

With guix one can also use g-expressions to write configurations or execute programs in a monad of some sort.

It isn’t typed but the setup is far from unstructured.
