Very well built patches and ways to share them. This is a good thing for gaming as we can try bleeding edge like Arch. But without having to rely on AUR or scripts to copy locally. Thanks to Nix Flakes you simply reference the flake someone shared (after double checking what is in it) and rebuild a NixOS derivation and voila, patch installed. I installed a complete SteamOS in 1 minute with this, reboot and everything works. Even with your locally signed in Steam account 👌

There is a Gnome/KDE installer too now ;)

And much better gaming specs such as VRR, near complete HDR capabilities, … Multi monitors are better supported, more customization (albeit it’s harder to configure and get to the point you want sometimes).

It’s not just color variants of the main interface 😇

I’m thinking about switching as well for those reasons but I’m disappointed on the NixOS support of KDE. Gnome is configurable through dconf at least for a kinda NixOS way.
