Motivation for this change

@worldofpeace made me try wire-desktop and it crashed when I tried to change my profile picture. So I thought I'd be nice and fix their package for once since they always help me with mine. :P

Things done

A while back @worldofpeace helped me package Simplenote and after my first miserable attempt they pointed me at wire-desktop for a better reference than the one I used. While trying to get their way to work we learned of an even easier/cleaner way to do these electron apps. It just so happens that switching to that method fixed the segfault. ;)

  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

I think the error there is a harmless one, fontconfig in nixos will just use a different conf.
This will also force it to not use the font conf of the system.

we should do https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/74472/files#r351812282, and then I think it's good.

What's the reasoning behind this unindent? It makes for much more confusing formatting imo.

in if stdenv.isDarwin
then darwin
else linux

This is another questionable formatting change. It's less clear that the conditional expression is in the body of the let in. What's the motivation for this?

I personally don't like the non-indented then/else clauses, this is not a statement but an expression, the extra indentation makes it much clearer the clauses are part of an expression.
