Just because something isn’t a law of the universe doesn’t mean it isn’t real. English is an essentially arbitrary set of rules and sounds, yet I am using it to transport my thoughts into your head, where if I used my own fake words instead we’d glarf bort tinp ko esag.
Or, more on point, there’s a world of difference between “won’t necessarily protect you” and “definitely won’t protect you”, where sovereign citizen bullshit is squarely in the latter category.
Newfoundland really wishing they hadn’t closed their orange juice factory right now.
I honestly don’t know how nh works under the hood, but it does seem to do concurrent builds, so it’s probably something like that.
nix flake update
nix flake check --no-build
git commit -a
nh os switch
Is the routine I’ve settled into. Flake update because I use flakes, flake check because it’s easier to see any warnings about deprecated options and the like so I can fix them preemptively, git commit after the check to avoid back-to back commits where the second is fixing some issue with the first, and nh because I like the pretty dependency graph and progress bar.
In my experience running the Windows version of the mod manager in the same prefix as the game also works.
I’ve been on NixOS for a little over a year, and have been absolutely delighted at how well gaming works now. I initially thought I would dual boot until Windows 10 EoL, but have had no reason to use Windows in that time and a couple months ago I converted my storage disk from ntfs to ext4.
Steam is nearly seamless; there have been one or two titles where I’ve had to switch the Proton version to experimental or GE, but nothing more than that. Heroic and Lutris have been similarly easy for non-Steam games. There has been nothing that I have tried to play that hasn’t worked, but I don’t play multiplayer games so YMMV there.
That said, this is not my first rodeo with Linux. I used it extensively in the late '00s and early '10s, which probably helped to sand some of the rough edges off of my recent experience. Though back then wine was not really suitable for gaming. I also have an AMD GPU, which I understand has an easier setup process than Nvidia. (I literally haven’t had to think about graphics drivers at all.)

Coca-Cola switched from fresh to spent coca leaves in 1903, so the '50s are about a half century too late for cocaine in sodas.
They were lying about the perjury. Even though they swore they wouldn’t.
“Netflix and chill” but with a distinct lack of chill.
Yeah, the way I was suggesting would only work for one game at a time. You might be able to set something up with symlinks to make everything visible in a separate prefix for the mod manager, but that sounds like way more trouble to me.
I haven’t done it a lot, but running a Windows mod manager in the same prefix as the game should work where there isn’t a Linux native version available.
And that’s why nix exists.
I had a similar thing happen recently following a NixOS upgrade. I wonder if it’s something that changed in Firefox.
In my case, the solution was to set useEmbeddedBitmaps = true in fontconfig. Which is unlikely to be directly helpful to you on Fedora, but maybe there’s an equivalent option somewhere?
I’ve seen ¤ used as a currency mark in games. Dwarf Fortress is the one that comes to mind, but I feel like I’ve seen it elsewhere as well.
NGL, I spent a minute wondering why Microsoft would be going after NixOS in particular.
Also phylogenetically and morphologically.
T-Rex is more closely related to sparrows than to stegosaurus.
That’s, like, meta-esoteric knowledge.
