SteamOS 3.5 will have a /nix directory to support the NixOS package manager. The package manager will probably not come pre-installed but the folder structure prepared, users will be able to install it without jumping through hoops.

    Flatpak is for sandboxed graphical applications and it’s absolutely great for that but sometimes one might want more. Could be simple things like an alternative CLI text editor or youtube-dl.

      Looking into it, it sounds like packages installed with nix would be persistent across updates too. That’s definitely a game changer. I’ve had a few things break on updates and it’s always a pain.
