I don’t have time to read the thread, so i just answer the initial question:

How to make NixOS so easy that people can be productive up front, without having to first learn the nix language?

  1. have a graphical installer where you can select your favorite DE or WM and basic settings (see RFC: Graphical installer for NixOS · Issue #21662 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub)
  2. have a graphical editor for configuration.nix (i don’t know how that could look like. good research topic ;))
