Instead, I suffer with Open Build Service https://build.opensuse.org/. It's kind of cool, free and can build for multiple distros, but making it actually do so is a pain. But I still prefer this over flatpak&co both as user and as developer.
It just doesn't look like "the future of application distribution", https://nixos.org/ does.
I heard about that before, but never tried. How in practice do you deal with conflicting library versions?

Strongly agree. I just find it sad that nix/guix doesn't have proper desktop integration (to my knowledge), and that nix requires nixGL hacks to start any GUI on foreign distros.
It's a mess, without meaningful documentation and lots of bugs I've spent hours digging the source code to get any idea of how to use it.
I build everything static except Qt. My project is small enough with only 4 external libraries, so it's ok atm.
The trust is outside of the scope of package managers
