GitHub - snowfallorg/nix-software-center: A simple gtk4/libadwaita software...

Nix Software Center is a graphical app store for Nix built with libadwaita, GTK4, and Relm4. Heavily inspired by GNOME Software.

Features

• Install packages to configuration.nix (via nix-editor)
  • Flakes support can be enabled in the preferences menu
• Install packages with nix profile or nix-env (currently used method is detected)
• Show updates for all installed packages
• Search for packages
• Launch applications without installing via nix-shell and nix run

ToDo

• non-NixOS: Currently only works on NixOS, but I plan to add support for non-NixOS nix in the near future
• home-manager: Currently for user package installation only nix-env and nix profile are supported.
• Channel and flake input management
• Improve appstream metadata generation
  • Metadata is generated by NixOS Appstream generator
  • Currently, metadata is stored on my NixOS Appstream data repo
  • Should be automated so it can be updated regularly with new packages
• Improve overall stability
