From my experience, any binary is going to need patching before it runs, because shared libraries are in weird paths. I especially had issues running Steam, but

  Steam still needs to be configured https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Steam https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Steam but it's just a few lines in your config and then it works

    That page is missing the opengl drivers which you also most likely want in the 32 bit variant.

      Setting programs.steam.enable also enables 32-bit opengl, last I checked.
      • SuperSandro2000 4y ago
        Yes, that's correct and then you need to tell it which driver you need for your hardware. For example like: hardware.opengl = { extraPackages = with pkgs; [ intel-compute-runtime # OpenCL library intel-media-driver # video encoding/decoding hardware accerlation ]; extraPackages32 = with pkgs.pkgsi686Linux; [ intel-media-driver # video encoding/decoding hardware accerlation ]; };

  Yes, you cannot just download any random binary from the internet unless you use a FHS because those libraries are compiled for Distros using a default file system layout.
