Make NixOS usable for non-technical users through a settings / package management GUI
Nix-Gui
Make NixOS usable for non-technical users through a settings / package management GUI.
Motives
The declarative nature of NixOS provides it the capability of being the most user friendly linux distro. No more editing dotfiles, /etc files, manually writing timers, services, running commands to manage and create users and groups, etc. NixOS integrates all of that into a declarative system, and this project integrates NixOS’ declarative system into a GUI.
Serve Users Unfamiliar with or Learning Nix
Nix-Gui is a configuration management tool designed for those who haven’t mastered the (arguably difficult) nix language. It is also an attempt to replicate the ease of use of popular configuration systems including
- Ubuntu’s Unity System Settings
- Mint’s Cinnimon Settings
- Synaptic Package
