dconf-service-type to enforce Nemo settings and others more declarativelydone
task
dconf-service-type in the SSS configuration, we can:
- Declaratively specify default settings: Define the desired state of Nemo (e.g., default view, icon sizes, behavior) and others directly in our Guix configuration using Lisp.
- Ensure consistent settings: The dconf-service will enforce these settings across user profiles, promoting a consistent and predictable user experience.
- Improve reproducibility: The exact configuration of desktop components will be version-controlled and easily reproducible across different SSS installations.
- Enhance system management: Integrate desktop environment configuration more deeply into the Guix system management framework.
This approach aligns with SSS's goal of configuring all things via Lisp dialects when possible, promoting a more transparent, manageable, and ultimately more hackable desktop environment. It also opens the door to declaratively managing settings for other Dconf-managed applications in the future.
