A review of Nix/NixOS after using it on all my machines for three years. I'll cover what works, what doesn't, and why it's the first OS that's stuck with me.
I haven’t had any issues thus far. But I have not used a lot of appimages. Usually I can find everything in nixpkgs, and those that I didn’t all worked with appimages.
If you download a binary you can just
steam-runit and it just works?
This command will just run an executable file on nix. Normally only executables which are installed from the package manager will work.
appimage-runis another option. Which can be used to run, you guessed it, appimagesBut appimages will complain about unmet dependencies, so usually they don’t work
