Only 5 hours? That’s quite fast! It took me years to configure my NixOS system. It’s not even complete yet. It would be great if there were a GUI that took care of the entire thing, could lock dependencies (no, not flakes), add it to version control with signed commits and secrets, and the configuration could be shared across devices. That’s all possible with manual labor but having that out of the box for GUI users would be amazing.
It’s nice that separate solutions exist but noone is going to understand what’s going on, what version control is, what pinning is, and so on. And even if they did, finding separate solutions for them is a pain. An all in one solution would be the best.

Anyway, I feel this post too much 😅

I mean the part with configuring Nix in a GUI is what Snowfall is trying to do and there are a lot of GUIs for Git as well.
