SnowflakeOS - Creating a GUI focused NixOS-based distro
I don't plan on it at this moment, however, if someone finishes the packagekit backend for Nix, the appstream data I'm working on collecting would work to display icons and screenshots. Also if someone who knew qt/kirigami development wanted to make something similar to nix-software-center, the backend tool that reads and modifies configuration values is a separate project: nix-editor, and I would be willing to help with any issues that arose from that.

Nix Software Center: gtk4/libadwaita app store for NixOS

What does the function `nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem` do?
Unless you want to handwire something together or use another higher level function from some 3rd party library, your want to use this function. It is basically the entrypoint to a flake based nixos system configuration. See https://github.com/NixOS/templates/blob/master/simple-container/flake.nix for an example.
- Would it make sense to start a repo which contains some "standard" flake.nix files for various types of projects?

Why can't things "just work" on NixOS?
There are some templates on the official repository. https://github.com/NixOS/templates You can find others on github.

Nix flake --impure segfaults
I am new to nix, and even newer when it comes to using flakes. I was trying out the following simple flake (based on this template), which just terminates with a segmentation fault whenever I use --impure flag (e.g. nix develop --impure)

Help me understand how to install something that isn't in the official nixpkgs
You would probably want to use flakes. There is NixOS/templates repo with flake templates. Take a look at go-hello one.

I created a super simple flake.nix template so you can finally use python painlessly in your nix projects. Just copy a few lines over into your flake.nix and you can use all of PyPi :)
You should consider adding this as a template to https://github.com/nixos/templates.
