That's a lot of software I haven't heard of before (Nyxt and Tubo), thanks. How do you like GUIX?

@nuclide has setup their Linux desktop in the most Lispy way possible: #GuileScheme bindings in order to program the #Wayland compositor (DWL) and the status bar (DTao), #Nyxt for the web browser (#CommonLisp bindings to #webkit ) and #Emacs as the text editor.
The only way you could be more truly a #Lisp fan is if you ran an emulator of the CADR Lisp Machine and used ZMacs as your text editor instead, and annoyingly argue with everyone that Scheme is not actually Lisp (cough @amszmidt cough)
Woah, woah, woah... there is a Wayland compositor called DWL and a status bard called DTao that can be scripted using Guile Scheme?! Holy shit!
Now I know exactly what I am going to do as soon as my Linux distro swtiches over to Wayland.
And kudos also for using Nyxt and Emacs. The Lisp runs strong in this one.
Thanks! Ever since I used Emacs for the first time I wished I could have a fully Lisp-based configuration for my whole system, and Guix glues them all in pretty neatly
Is Nyxt by any chance a Chromium fork?
No, it's a renderer-agnostic browser built with Common Lisp from the ground up. It currently uses WebkitGTK as its official renderer but there is Blink support planned for early next year via its Electron port.
The screenshot shows Tubo-chromium. Looks like its just chromium
