Might be worth looking into immutable distros (nix, guix) and their home management systems, or containerised apps (flatpak, where you can inject config). A lot of tools are hardcoded to non standard locations so it's kind of a losing battle by default. A similar strategy would be to use permissions or mount certain folders as read only.
Wow, was pretty heavily bombarded by domains ads just a few weeks ago!
Oh I used to play starfighter on PS2 as a kid, that would be pretty nostalgic! In any case very kind of you to do this.
Mostly remember looking at the printer in a game shop thinking I'll never afford this. Very cool result.
Have you also tried nix, if so did you have any particular reason to stick with guix (maybe the Foss aspect)?
