Maybe it's because I'm naive when it comes to Nix, but so far everything Nix related I've seen requires some file configuration that no everyone is able to keep up with. Compare that to having a GUI frontend and a simple `flatpak install ..` command.
Flatpak is not just easier for packagers, it's miles ahead when it comes to simplicity for end users.
- ar_lan 4y agoAh, this is fair. Where I view "flatpack install ..." as a negative, I do realize that most users likely view that as a positive.
- rewgs 4y agoThe benefit of Nix is that you declaratively configure everything in a single file. And there's no reason you couldn't wrap a GUI around that. In fact I'd be surprised if someone hasn't already.
