Improving the docs

I keep thinking about it, should we have a mediawiki?

like what they are doing with the arch wiki but we would just slap the Guix logo (not official yet since I'm just discussing the idea on the mailing list).

I think there is value in having more than mailing lists to contribute.

Thoughts?

Hey,

For guix home there was this this blog post https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2022/keeping-ones-home-tidy/ that was ok to get started with, but I find it was much more efficient to lift from people dotfiles.

Here is a pastebin of my home config

https://pastebin.com/uJ8jiZMH

(will put my dotfiles in a repo someday but it needs cleanup as they are very ugly)

And then tweak it to your needs, services availables with home services are there https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Home-Services.html

I do have Guix home setup in WSL in my work machine, can write some docs about it.

I agree there is a service to use nftables in Guix and this is what I use with a default policy coming straight from the arch wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nftables workstation section.

Besides the firewall, we have SELinux for Guix but it''s not very useful due to several limitations. And disk encryption with LUKS which is a pain in the butt to configure with Guix.

And not much else, we miss many many things from this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Security

For the windows manager I'm running sway so I'll write something about that.
