Instant Messaging: XMPP or Websocket
So XMPP is an awesome protocol in theory. Also many issues you're trying to solve are probably already solved in one of the specifications and I personally think that XMPP is missing out on clients. Some clients are nice (i.e. Conversations or Dino) but they are not as appealing as Telegram or Discord.

Is flatpak really the future?
I am missing proper tooling. I challenge you to create a fully working Flatpak of dino - ah wait not possible, because of a 4 year old issue not being resolved.

AI roasts NixOS users
This is pretty close https://github.com/nix-gui/nix-gui

Which newer, up and coming distros do you think will make it?
Nix based aiming at beginners. If it combines/works with https://github.com/nix-gui/nix-gui, then an amazing distro may be created. It would be user friendly, but also extremely powerful, allowing basically everything to be configured via the gui. Both softwares are alpha state, but I am excited to see what they bring.

Maybe https://github.com/nix-gui/nix-gui? I dunno if it can do userspace config though.

Nix Software Center: gtk4/libadwaita app store for NixOS

NixOS Configuration Editor: A gtk4/libadwaita app to edit and manage basic configurations without (much) coding
I remember when I first started using NixOS, as a confused beginner I tried to find a graphical application to manage and edit my configuration. I stumbled upon Nix-Gui, however, I didn’t really like the look, it crashed a fair amount, and I never really figured out how to use it. That said, their idea and all of the hard work they put into their project inspired me to make a similar application that focuses more on simplicity and ease of use.

NIX GUI application to manage nixos build with graphical ui.
I was wondering if you are aware of https://github.com/nix-gui/nix-gui and how your tool compares to it
-
Is flatpak really the future?
There is also a GUI in development, hopefully it will help casual users in the future.

How do I contribute to NixOS?
There's https://github.com/nix-gui/nix-gui for a gui like experience.

NixOS History and Our Experience - Nix, Null, Nada, Nothing
Configuration language usage: Probably a major win for programmers, but a major negative for non-programmers. However, nix-gui has shown that there's potential for gui-based nixos configuration. And this might one day be extended to use as part of the graphical installer. https://discourse.nixos.org/t/why-is-there-no-installer-for-nixos/16644/21. Since nix can be serialized and deserialized to json, there's actually a fair amount of interoperability able to be done to manipulate nix configuration using existing libraries.
