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.

SnowflakeOS - Creating a GUI focused NixOS-based distro
In my opinion, NixOS is a great operating system and is very straightforward and stable once you learn how to use it, however for someone without knowledge about Nix or who has never heard of NixOS, it can be very confusing. I stumbled upon Nix and NixOS a bit less than a year ago, and since then have worked to try to create tools that make using NixOS more user/noob friendly, namely: adding the calamares installer to NixOS, creating a graphical configuration editor: nixos-conf-editor, and creating a GNOME software-like software center: nix-software-center.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing nixos-appstream-data and calamares-nixos-extensions you can also consider the following projects:
nix-software-center - A simple gtk4/libadwaita software center to easily install and manage nix packages
nix-editor - A simple rust program to edit NixOS configuration files with just a command
os-installer-snowflake-config
nixos-conf-editor - A libadwaita/gtk4 app for editing NixOS configurations
Relm4 - Build truly native applications with ease!
gtk-rs-core - Rust bindings for GNOME libraries
NixOS - My personal NixOS related stuff
