I’m having a problem like this post where launching Steam causes NixOS to close out of my session and go back to the start menu:
I’ve tried using “steam --reset”, but the issue still persists, and it just started doing it today.
nix-info output:
- system: `"x86_64-linux"`
- host os: `Linux 6.12.53, NixOS, 25.05 (Warbler), 25.05.811497.33c6dca0c0cb`
- multi-user?: `yes`
- sandbox: `yes`
- version: `nix-env (Nix) 2.28.5`
- channels(root): `"nixos-25.05"`
- nixpkgs: `/nix/store/fi8hp0d5i62ny4n7pbw3nbx3c8zdzd8w-nixos-25.05/nixos`
My DE is Cinnamon on X11, and I’m also using the proprietary nvidia package as well.

Can you share the contents of:
journalctl --user --boot
… after one of these crashes? Ideally by logging into a tty instead of your DM (by pressing ctel+alt+F3) so that you keep the noise to a minimum.
Also share your configuration.nix while you’re at it.
