Do you have experience with gaming on NixOS, particularly the Steam/Proton ecosystem? Recent non-reproducible distros like CachyOS and Bazzite have made gaming on Linux extremely accessible. Wondering how this fares in NixOS. | ||

Yes. I run NixOS on 5 machines, one of which is a gaming laptop with an Nvidia card that makes heavy use of Steam and Proton. It works fantastic and is so much less of a headache than Windows. | ||

Gaming works extremely well. You can even get a SteamOS-like experience via Jovian, which is basically an overlay that provides a curated set of packages and configs. | ||

Steam (and games) all work flawlessly. Even streaming VR to my Quest 2 and flatscreen to my TV works perfect. | ||
