pellets: manage your packages with a configuration file
Fair enough. I've also had a couple of programs which weren't packaged already, fortunately it's quite easy to do so most of the time (or to just fall back to a distrobox container or flatpak in the worst case). If you decide to try it out, nix-1p and Nix Pills were great resources for me to get familiar with Nix and NixOS in a short time-span.

Why the Windows Registry sucks technically (2010)
Wouldn't say there's a steep learning curve for the language itself, it's pretty easy to get a grasp around it imo. Here's a helpful page I used to quickly get familiar with the language: https://github.com/tazjin/nix-1p
What's rather messy about Nix is nixpkgs with its helper functions all over the place alongside pretty shallow / non-existent documentation (which is unrelated to the language). Thankfully they've started to work on that recently: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/documentation-team-flattening-...

Nix is the ultimate DevOps toolkit
I wrote a language tutorial for only the language a while back, and have gotten the feedback that it has helped a lot of people - maybe it'd clear something up for you: https://github.com/tazjin/nix-1p

- What is an appropriate way to install debian packages in a completely air-gapped environment?

About nautilus-typeahead
You should ask in the upstream bug tracker (is it this one? https://github.com/lubomir-brindza/nautilus-typeahead). First step is to get it to build for Debian manually/locally - i.e. patch the official nautilus Debian package. Then it's easy to setup a personal APT repository with aptly

WSUS Alternative solution for Linux Systems
Exactly what aptly is for. No idea about CentOS side, for that we just had rsync from official repo + some scripts
-
Zabbix in isolated environment
I'm not sure if this is an option, because it might break the isolation model, but you could setup repo mirrors in whatever tool of choice you like, but for Debian/Ubuntu, I think aptly is really featureful.

How can I automate .deb GPG signing procedure?
I know that it is not directly what you asked about, but without knowing how the signed debs are being used, I can say that if you were to use aptly to create an apt repo to house your debs to then be installed on whatever machines offline (assuming network connectivity, which may be an incorrect assumption), it requires you to sign a published repo/mirror, and also requires you to install and trust the key on any systems that you then want to use to install package unless you specifically use [trusted=yes] in the apt repo list file.

Are there any extra steps to creating a Debian repository mirror?
There's also Aptly but I've never used it. Looks neat, though.

Archiving Debian ISO
I personally just mirror the packages for what ever I'm using with aptly and use the netinstall iso and point it to that local mirror. The netinstall iso will pull any needed updated from the repo.

Linux Host Patch Management
Take a look at Aptly.
-
Centralized patching for Ubuntu
Aptly is a purpose-built DEB content management solution. Never used but I've heard good things.

Linux Package repo server
The last time I got involved in repo/package management, we used aptly Later moved to Jfrog artifactory. The latter is very expensive.There is also pulp some said it is good, which I personally never managed in production environment, so I can't recommend for or against.
