[Nix-dev] Deploying Steam in NixOS

[Sander van der Burg - EWI]

Hello Nixers seeking some entertainment!

I also did an attempt to make Steam working in NixOS. I have used a chroot approach and for me it seems to work fine. I was capable of deploying and running Half-Life, Half Life 2, Portal and Counter Strike and they all seem to work fine on both on my desktop machine (with NVIDIA GPU) and notebook (with Intel GPU).

More details:

(Just search for tl;dr if you're too impatient :P)

We may need to tweak the environment a bit to get other Steam games working that I don't know of, but the ones that I bought all seem to work.

Best,

Sander
