  • Im like 99% sure i did have that line in my config, and it still didnt work for whatever reason.

    Look im not saying NixOS is bad, in fact i really like the idea of it, but ive tried it about 2 times and always came upon something that didnt just work for me, and i end up going into the nixos search thing to try and find what variables i need to put in my config, and its not always 100% clear. On my desktop steam and everything worked fine but i was annoyed at some stuff and stopped using it, on my laptop it just didnt wanna launch any games, idk why exactly that happened but another distro worked fine.


  • I installed NixOS on a laptop and tried to run a steam game and it just straight up didn’t launch anything, went to the wiki to figure out the amd drivers, opengl whatever put like 10 new lines in my nix config rebuilt restarted still nothing works, after about 2 hours i just swapped back to arch and the games launched straight away, so for me it wasnt as easy as you may claim it to be. I also tried it on my desktop before and it was a better experience, but still not great. The nix config file is a bit of a mess of options that you have to dig into wiki pages and searching stuff to figure out how to get some stuff to work

    I had KDE on Arch installed on a laptop (gave to my mom, now swapped to windows 10) and didnt know why it was happening and it was like 2 years ago. now i installed KDE on my desktop a few months ago and had the same issue, ended up finding the bug being sddm and swapped to sddm-git, i cant believe they just let this bug run around for years without pushing an update till now
