Basically title.

I’m wondering if a package manager like flatpak comes with any drawback or negatives. Since it just works on basically any distro. Why isn’t this just the default? It seems very convenient.

    Interestingly I’ve currently crashing issues with running CS2 through Steam native on NixOS, while the Steam flatpak works like it should.

    The part about drivers is true though, as GPL is the reason I’m using native Steam.

      You don’t have steam-runtime instead of steam-native on nix?

        I mean the native NixOS package of Steam (instead of flatpak), not that the Steam package uses native libs.

        I believe Steam on NixOS always uses the Steam runtime, because NixOS isn’t FHS compliant, thus apps wouldn’t find any libs. No, I don’t think there’s steam-native on NixOS.
