My main gaming PC is one of those cheapy "mini gaming pcs" you get on Amazon for like $350. I installed NixOS on there, and have it automatically boot into GameScope with the SteamOS interface.
After I got everything set up (which wasn't hard), the amount of maintenance I've had to do on there is zero. SteamOS managed to make desktop Linux accessible to basically anyone; it was easy to build my own game console that I enjoy considerably more than my Xbox One that I never bother with.
Valve has made desktop Linux a lot more viable than I ever thought would happen.
- bsimpson 2y ago> which wasn't hard You must have used NixOS before, or had hardware that worked perfectly with a default config.
