Hello Marco, 
 
Regarding Gnome there are three problems.
 
1) I have to find out how the depencies of Gnome are. Im a end-user and not a programmer.
   So  bugs solving is not for me.
 
2) I have to learn how to make build-scripts in Nixos.
 
3) Im testing Nixos and have not decide if I want to stay with Nixos.
 
 
Roelof
