I will have to look into nix more. I remember when it came out, thought it might be neat if it caught on and got developed and supported well, maybe that’s the case these days?

It’s still a niche off course. And the packages from the Nix package/repository in the end is just installing an application like from any other repository. But its usable on any distribution. That’s the point here, because it can be used on the Steam Deck without root privileges (as far as I know) and packages should stay after an update. I wasn’t much talking about the distribution itself.
