Nix Software Center
A graphical app store for Nix packages built with GTK4 and libadwaita, inspired by GNOME Software.
What is Nix Software Center?
Nix Software Center is a graphical application store built for the Nix package manager. It allows users to browse, install, update, and manage Nix packages through a user-friendly interface, simplifying package management for those who prefer graphical tools over the command line. The project is heavily inspired by GNOME Software and integrates with Nix's various installation methods, including Flakes, `nix profile`, and `nix-env`.
Nix users, particularly those on Linux desktops who prefer graphical interfaces for package management, and developers looking to make Nix more accessible to less technical users.
It provides a polished, intuitive GUI that leverages Nix's powerful package management capabilities, offering features like package search, update notifications, and the ability to launch applications without installation. As an open-source alternative to GNOME Software for Nix, it fills a gap in the ecosystem for user-friendly graphical tools.
