This is because this 'services' field is expecting 'services' and gets
other things like 'configuration records' instead.

You might want something like this (not tested):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(services (cons*
           (service slim-service-type
                    (slim-configuration
                     (auto-login? #t)
                     (default-user "swedebugia")
                     (auto-login-session "xfdesktop")))

           (service tlp-servicy-type
                    (tlp-configuration
                     (cpu-scaling-governor-on-ac (list "conservative"))
                     (cpu-scaling-governor-on-bat (list "conservative"))))

           (xfce-desktop-service)

           (modify-services %desktop-services
             (guix-service-type
              config =>
              (guix-configuration
               (inherit config)
               (substitute-urls (cons "https://berlin.guixsd.org"
                                      %default-substitute-urls))
               (authorized-keys (cons "/home/swedebugia/berlin.guixsd.org.pub"
                                      %default-authorized-guix-keys)))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The guix-service-type service needs to be modified because it is already
in %desktop-services, and you can't have it twice.

> ;				;; Should I use parenteses instead of "#:"?

Things ending with '-configuration' are usually macros that can be used
to instantiate the corresponding records.  They take arguments like
'(field value)'.  '#:' is used when passing arguments to normal
functions.

This is complex, but you can usually know what things expect by looking
at the examples in the documentation.

If you have similar issues, please email help-guix <at> gnu.org instead.

Good luck, and don't hesitate to ask! :-)

Got it! Now I understand the problem.

This I did not fully understand, will read up on macros in the guile manual and ask on help-guix or IRC if needed.

I tried. Will try harder and propose changes with more examples and clarifications.

Understood.

Big thanks for taking the time to investigate this. 😀
