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

auto update notifier & gui for non-tech users?
The most I've heard of is the Pop! OS system updater (https://github.com/pop-os/system-updater) does support updating nix packages (see https://github.com/pop-os/system-updater/blob/master/daemon/src/package_managers/nix.rs). It would probably need some modification to work on NixOS though. Other than that I don't think any graphical package managers are being maintained, although I've been meaning to dive in and make one once I finish the first release of my configuration editor
