I think Flatpak or AppImages would be a more appropriate distribution method, as much as I love nix and flakes.
I would second flatpak and app images, not everyone is on NixOS, and I would like to not use NixOS any time soon as it doesn't appeal to me the way it works.
The neat and confusing thing about nix and flakes is that you don't need to be using the OS to benefit from using nix as a home manager/ package installer.
Fleek is a good example.
Wouldn't it be cool if you could store Flatpaked/appimage games on a USB drive indefinitely so then you could plug it into another machine and simply launch the game from it?
You know, like a video game console!
