BTRFS could easily be leveraged with SnowflakeOS and Nix generations to produce a truly atomic transaction for each generation switch. The only issue I can see with trying to create a GUI for Nix is that there is no way that you could possibly account for the amount of ways in which it is used. One suggestion I had for example would've been to distinguish between packages installed via the system, user, and user with home-manager. As you can set up home-manager to be its own home.nix file or as a separate nix module, you would need to have the program be able to index these Nix files and scan for a Nix expression which allow you to easily use sed to add, remove or modify derivations to your system.
You really explained your point well. I have a different thought, if we can build a notepad app and add features in it or as a plug-in, which can understand the nix os config file and explain it in simple words in a sidebar. For example, if someone want to download software, he just search the sidebar for "add software" and plugin highlights the part where they can add software or shows a pop-up to search nix software repo and copy the name of file and add it itself. I am not an expert in Linux but just want your thoughts on this.
