> I started because I wanted Claude Code to manage my system, not just my code.

I have two reactions to this.

First: respectfully, this is hilarious. LLMs are good at many things, but judgement is not one of them. At the outset, this was firmly in the "terrible ideas" category. (EDIT: ugh; I misread you. I thought you said Claude Code wanted to manage your system. I need more coffee...)

Second: sometimes from terrible ideas come great creativity. (I'm actually not sure what epistemic basis creativity flows from, if not simply the habit of adding entropy to a search path, and you sure chose a high entropy path!) I don't know anything about the stack you chose, but I've spent many hours almost being enticed by https://guix.gnu.org/ and this sounds similar. And the part where you have recovered from a borked system about 15 times is genuine evidence that you're doing something right. I applaud your grit and hope you're having as much fun as it sounds like you are.

Ahahaha yes I totally agree - but my point is that nixos seems to be the right candidate to at least try to manage the entropy :) Or maybe it just gives you this impression.

I will definitely look into guix thanks!
