Creating a NixOS workstation configuration for non-Linux experts using Flathub with a graphical storefront so they can install the apps they want.


Since 2006 I've been helping friends and family run desktop Linux. This lightning talk reflects on the distributions I've used in the past and why I'm now using NixOS with Flathub enabled to make NixOS accessible to non-expert Linux users.
