 K900 | install your games

| K900 | don't listen to youtubers telling you you NEED THIS 20 AMAZING HACKS TO MAKE MORE GAMING
| 13:15:37 |

| Soenke Klinger | MiraiyWe have https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Category:Gaming . But normally its quite easy as K900 said. Just use steam and other availabe tools from nixpkgs. If not possible install games/programs via Flathub. And install Bottles as flatpak und run other game hubs (epic, battlenet, ..) as bottle. | 14:34:04 |
 magic_rb | Use programs.steam.enable not just adding steam to systemPackages | 15:45:41 |
| magic_rb | Use jovian if you want the big screen UI experienE | 15:46:02 |

 niklaskorz | I'd rephrase that as console experience | 18:02:52 |
| niklaskorz | no big screen on steam deck | 18:02:58 |
| niklaskorz | smol screen | 18:03:04 |
 Samuel | Heroic also works well on NixOS and I'd always prefer that over Bottles | 18:11:53 |
 neobrain | No love for umu? D: | 18:24:48 |
 Miraiy | thanks for the tips guys and sorry for the "repetitive question"... My bad | 19:28:37 |
| K900 | It's really not that the question is repetitive | 19:29:32 |
| K900 | It's that people on youtube will tell you to run all kinds of random shit so you get like +0.3FPS | 19:29:45 |
| K900 | When in practice none of it actually does anything but add complexity and make things more likely to break | 19:30:02 |
| niklaskorz | Heroic uses umu | 20:23:57 |
 woobilicious | Someone should write a nix wrapper for uwu, I like heroic, but it's still imperative and clunky to setup and use. | 20:27:29 |

 hustlerone | could be worse you could be using lutris | 05:33:43 |
| hustlerone | or bottles | 05:33:46 |

| K900 | Cute | 09:15:42 |
| K900 | Impractical but cute | 09:15:45 |
