Today we're going to try converting more of my Emacs-based Org Babel literate system configuration over to Guix Home! I've wanted to do this for a while and I now have more reason than ever to do it.

The biggest reason, though: my configuration is a total headache to manage now!

Here's what I'd like to accomplish:

• Any files that need to be symlinked into $HOME should be done via Guix Home, not stow or dotcrafter
• Stop using individual manifest files, move the packages I actually use into Home config
• Improve my desktop environment home service, make it configurable
• Create other home services so that I can conditionally bring in different functionality (audio systems, etc)
• Archive my old .org files

When we're finished, I plan to check in the changes to the master branch of my dotfiles repository:

I still need to figure out how I'll make it into a website, but that's a problem for another day.
