Our Fastest, Most Beautiful Release Ever: Thunderbird 115 “Supernova” Is Here
What I mean is that if you have an Outlook account, and you want to use Thunderbird for it, you will need to sync your Outlook calendar with Thunderbird. Outlook uses Exchange ActiveSync instead of CalDav/CardDav for this syncing.
The way to give Thunderbird these capabilities are by installing these two connected addons [1, 2]. At least till June 2022, I could see meeting invites from colleagues in Thunderbird. I would also see the translucent event in the calendar in Thunderbird. But accepting the invite would not work [2]. Also creating and sending Outlook calendar events from within Thunderbird didn't work. So, I always had to open the web Calendar to do these things. Thunderbird was only good for meeting reminders.
There is a new major release of the addon since then, so it is possible that the bug is fixed.
> I apparently don't get event invites from Outlook Calendars then
Obviously if your email/calendar account is something else, then you have no problem. If someone sends an invite to my gmail, from their outlook, I can accept it fine from within Thunderbird, because Thunderbird/gmail are communicating using Caldav (I think).
> Which clients do work with that then, only Outlook itself?
I will use Thunderbird as much as possible till it is pried from my cold dead hands!

Our Fastest, Most Beautiful Release Ever: Thunderbird 115 “Supernova” Is Here
I admit that there is an element of, "but I chose an obscure and challenging linux variant, waaah why isn't it supported" here, but (a) there's currently no flatpak and (b) when, for goodness sakes, will major linux projects begin packaging for Nix/NixOS as a matter of course?
It's not hard, and the benefits go far outside merely supporting Nix, as e.g. a flake.nix file would allow this project to generate docker images, and appImage images, as basically afterthoughts. (See e.g. https://github.com/matthewbauer/nix-bundle.)
Nix flake support would also provide a perfectly reproducible build environment, which can help clarify dependencies, and thus help the project build achieve idempotence, but I'll save the full shill for some github issue.
In fact, I'm inclined to roll up my shirtsleeves and help make this real.

Container runtime as a static binary?
https://github.com/matthewbauer/nix-bundle perhaps?
-
Pushing/marketing the nix package manager as a Flatpak/Snap competitor?
Another way to approach this would be to advocate Nix as the build system for Flatpak or AppImage. Don't know what the status is of nix-bundle, but if it is possible to turn a Nix package into an AppImage with little extra work that would be ideal.
-
Flaptak (and Snap) is not the future
Nix itself is more focused on "distribute from this host with nix, to this other host with nix".
Though, here is e.g. https://github.com/matthewbauer/nix-bundle, which is supported as an experimental command in nix 2.4.

Does Nix or NixOS address the problem raised by Linus Torvalds on package management?
I believe this tool does: https://github.com/matthewbauer/nix-bundle

NixOS 21.05 Released
Yes, it's extremely powerful once you truly understand Nix.
There are efforts to improve documentation, but it still is lacking (I think the biggest problem is that Nix is so big, not just the OS but it can be utilized as a build system).
Just with NixOS is not exactly clear how can you for example build your custom image.
I think https://nix.dev/ is approaching the documentation from the right direction.
There are also many pieces that people built that you need to find.
For example some things that I found accidentally:
* https://github.com/matthewbauer/nix-bundle
* https://github.com/cleverca22/not-os
Unfortunately those side projects often have even worse documentation.
