I went through a lot of hoops to get steam up and running about a year ago. That time the option link didn’t exist on stable. Which made it even harder for me to set it up, as I had to do all the 32bit stuff manual, I got a lot of help from chat back then.
NixOS sadly has a bit of a documentation problem. But I usually look in this order:
-
NixOS Search
- Worth looking at when trying to install something new, you could find the steam switch there too (didn’t exist when I last looked
)
- Worth looking at when trying to install something new, you could find the steam switch there too (didn’t exist when I last looked
-
nixpkgs manual has most useful info, but also nix manual and NixOS manual
- There’s a lot of info in those, and they still somehow manage to be hard to search/read despite being split in three. Work is underway to render it more nicely, I believe.
- This discourse
-
Nix user repositories
- You can find a lot of people’s configurations by clicking on links here, with some amount of searchability. Useful to get examples from (and sometimes packages)
- The nixpkgs source
- As with all software, a fair bit of stuff ends up hidden in the belly of the code. It’s worth looking here if something is confusing; but you will need to learn nix.
