Distribution packaging for Linux desktop applications is unsustainable
Now look at Signal on Flathub. It is not by Signal themselves so an attack vector exists. The reason I mention it is because the Signal team got the Signal Snap removed.
- Snap Store administrators removed signal-desktop from Ubuntu Snap
-
This version of Signal Desktop has expired on Linux Mint 20.3
you can try using the flatpak version of signal

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.

Using NixOS on corporate laptops.
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
Would it make sense to integrate something like nix gui into this?

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.
