    can’t wait to see what people eventually do with the nix package manager too. it’ll be great to keep all of the foreign/custom packages after an operating system upgrade.

      Does 3.5.5 actually support Nix? I mean I didn’t see anything about it in the changelog (unless I missed something). This would absolutely be a welcome change if it’s actually implemented, not having a way to install foreign packages without them being overwritten by OTA is an important thing to have.

      I’ve been using it myself to install vkBasalt and some Pipewire filters, but it would be nice to see more widespread usage for sure.

        Is there a guide on how to install and get it up and running on SteamOS? I looked on Google but it still seems relatively new.

          I assume you mean Nix, in which case this article for the Determinate installer is where I started from. It’s an older article, but I don’t think too much has changed since.

          Mind you, it doesn’t go into nix config at all, just getting nix installed. And I was already familiar with Nix otherwise so it may be challenging if you’re just starting out.

          Anyway, if you’re willing to try, I recommend learning about home-manager after that, which is what you’ll need to maintain a config since it’s not a system NixOS install. Since it’s a standalone install, either Standalone installation or standalone flakes are your options. I prefer to use flakes personally, but it’s up to you.

    I really want official support for the Xbox wireless controller adapter so I don’t need to reinstall it after every update.
