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.

What is there to NixOS that is not just `nix` the package/config/whatever manager?
I meant that both /etc and systemd management are possible via nix on non-nixos, using a flake that has system-manager (see https://github.com/numtide/system-manager) as an input
-
Does anyone use system-manager or some alternative?
When I changed self.lib to sysmgr.lib (my intention being to try to use https://github.com/numtide/system-manager/blob/master/nix/lib.nix which actually has makeSystemConfig defined), I ended up with this error:

Have you convinced anyone to use Nix or NixOS? Friends? Coworkers?
None at all, I recommend Nix package manager and home-manager. As time progresses and system-manager grows in popularity I could start recommending that too.
What are some alternatives?

nix-gui - Use NixOS Without Coding
supervisor - Supervisor process control system for Unix (supervisord)
nixos-appstream-generator - Proof of concept appstream data generator for NixOS
Home Manager using Nix - Manage a user environment using Nix [maintainer=@rycee]
os-installer-snowflake-config
templates - Flake templates
nixos
nixos-conf-editor - A libadwaita/gtk4 app for editing NixOS configurations
system-config
nix-editor - A simple rust program to edit NixOS configuration files with just a command
dex - OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity and OAuth 2.0 provider with pluggable connectors
