I mean I can't guarantee anything, but nix should catch most stuff when attempting to build your configuration.
If something does break, you should also have an older boot entry you can boot into.
damn, the power of rollback | 04:22:17 |

What version? ever since Proton GE 5.21, you need to set programs.steam.enable in your system configuration Would an option like that work if i import it to home-manager? | 10:24:57 |
| kranzes | Does it need to be system-wide? | 10:25:13 |
| kranzes | Hmmm | 10:25:15 |
| kranzes | wait there is not real point, all this option essentially does to make it work is install both steam and steam.run | 10:32:52 |

| Izdihar | I still don't get the point of home manager if you're a single user computer | 10:38:37 |
| Izdihar | Is it better? | 10:38:47 |
| kranzes | yes | 10:55:02 |
| kranzes | has plenty of options and modules which the systemwide configuration does not have | 10:55:26 |

| kranzes | Btw ive just checked Steam/proton again, and yes it does work if i just download steam.run and steam, but the problem is that some games launch while others dont | 10:56:20 |
| kranzes | borderlands 1 did launch | 10:56:25 |
| kranzes | while Pit People did not | 10:56:29 |

 kraftnix | Hey all, I have a quick question about the state of gaming on NixOS. How well are the games + steam isolated from the rest of your desktop? Are they bubblewrapped, apparmored or chrooted?
I like to game on my main workstation (as its my most powerful machine), so isolation is quite important for me, for now I've just been running a windows VM with passthrough, but I'd rather move fully to native Linux if possible. | 13:27:47 |

Well its running via Proton right now and its pretty good. Don't know about isolation though, but I'm sure you could do it via sandboxing. | 14:05:58 |
 hexa | they are bubblewrapped | 15:21:50 |
| hexa | because we need to simulate a FHS-env for steam | 15:21:59 |
 philipp | But for example the entire users home directory remains exposed to steam and the games. | 15:33:43 |
 jonringer | Proton is supposed to handle launching games with a thin slice of needed access | 15:41:25 |
| 11 Jun 2021 |
| kraftnix | So games are bubblewrapped and then whatever Proton does on top in terms of limiting access? If the users directory is exposed is there a way to limit/prevent that? | 00:01:32 |
 ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | i mean... that sounds like a job for a container | 00:03:00 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | which is separate from packaging | 00:03:17 |
| ash (it/its) 🏳️⚧️ | you could also try flatpak | 00:03:29 |
