Enable --extra-experimental-features flakes. I have got this error error: experimental Nix feature 'flakes' is disabled; use '--extra-experimental-features flakes' to override and everything trying to enable it fails.

Software - Centre? Is there a Software-Center in NixOs and how to install it?
If GUI program is what you are after there is few of them which are WIP. The only one that worked for me is Nixos-Gui, which also duplicates as sort of NixOS administration tool since it provides means to edit options, services etc. It's still rough around edges but it's getting there. For Flatpaks only you can use gnome software center, I believe

Is there a CLI/TUI option search like the one on search.nixos.org?
not perfect, i started working on it but then realized there is no good way to get appstream data for packages. especially i wanted icons. development stopped there. https://github.com/Celestialme/Nixos-Gui

Is there a way to download only application desktop icon from cache.nixos.org?
So I am building this Nixos Gui application to install packages and edit configuration, So for the final touch I want to add icons to package listing, but I cant find source to get this icons from. Binary cache gives me full nar archives. Does anyone know way to get those icons from?

SnowflakeOS - Creating a GUI focused NixOS-based distro
Sounds a lot like nixos-conf-editor :) It allows for arbitrary nix code to be set for any option, and evaluates it to check for the correct type before setting it as the value in your configuration file

auto update notifier & gui for non-tech users?
I definitely plan to support as much as I can, but there is definitely a level of complexity that can never be truly translated to a graphical tool. What I've found helpful during development for me is that I split the frontend GUI and the backed parser and editor into two projects (nixos-conf-editor and nix-editor), that way I could tackle a lot of the parsing and editing alone without worrying about specific GUI features needed (and use it for other projects). Later when I need some feature I add it to nix-editor. So far nix-editor supports simple attribute modification, array adding and popping, and recursive attribute definition and dereferencing. It's definitely not perfect by any means, but so far it's been enough for the projects I've been working on. I definitely need to credit any success I've had so far to the developers of rnix-parser which translates nix expression to easy to manage ASTs.
