NixOS actually handles NVIDIA hybrid graphics more easily than most distros. When I got a laptop with NVIDIA/Intel hybrid graphics a few years ago, it took less time to configure on NixOS than it had on openSUSE, which I was dual-booting at the time.
I don't have a laptop like that anymore, but check the NixOS manual and NixOS.wiki, and ask around if you get stuck!
(When I last used it, Bumblebee was the best option and worked well, but these days, native PRIME offloading should also work fine and it's what I would prefer.)
As for Steam, just add
programs.steam.enable = true;
to your config. Works great!
(If you're accustomed to Flatpak Steam, you can alternatively enable Flatpak and just install Steam that way, like you would on your existing distro.)
