I did not know nix users had time to game due to the hours messing around with their dot files hahaah

[-] Chingzilla@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Think you mean their configuration.nix file ;)

And their flakes

Nah, dotfiles is fair, it would be insane to put it in only one file, it is Kore like a flake.nix that glues a bunch of configuration files together :P

I wanted to try nix, but gave up because it was too much too learn

There's dozens of us!

I've had to do very little tweaking overall to get most games working, with the one notable exception being dragons dogma 2. The solution was proton GE and a new .nix file with GPU tweaks and now I'm getting slightly better performance than the average windows experience.

I have to admit, that I have some experience with nix on 2 servers and 1 desktop, but installing steam was just 1 line in the config and everything worked. My biggest concern were the nvidia drivers, but that worked as well. Currently playing RE4 Remake.
