NixOS is a good Linux distribution for gaming. But it also has some difficulties because most self downloaded programs will not run without a little additional configuration like running it with steam-run.
With a simple module like this its possible to install the programs needed for gaming.
{ pkgs, config, ... }:
{
imports = [
];
options = {
};
config = {
programs.gamemode.enable = true; # for performance mode
programs.steam = {
enable = true; # install steam
remotePlay.openFirewall = true; # Open ports in the firewall for Steam Remote Play
dedicatedServer.openFirewall = true; # Open ports in the firewall for Source Dedicated Server
};
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
heroic # install heroic launcher
lutris # install lutris launcher
mumble # install voice-chat
protonup-qt # GUI for installing custom Proton versions like GE_Proton
(retroarch.override {
cores = with libretro; [ # decide what emulators you want to include
puae # Amiga 500
scummvm
dosbox
];
})
teamspeak_client # install voice-chat
];
};
}
